During the 1890s, a number of Ukrainians, Russians, and Germans began constructing settlements in the area, which was already home to approximately 330 villages of the native Kazakh people.[4] On April 19, 1923, by order of the Kirghiz SSR, the Nurinsk Volost was created as part of the Akmola Uyezd.[4] On March 10, 1932, the Nurinsk Volost joined the newly created Karagandy Oblast.[4] Nura became the district's administrative center in 1928.[4]
The 1930s saw a number of modernization programs implemented in the district, with electricity, telephones, and postal services being introduced.[4] 16 schools were erected as part of a wider Soviet program to combat illiteracy known as likbez.[4]
During World War II, over 3,000 people from the district fought in the war, and 1,083 died in battle.[4] Two residents of the district were awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union medal.[4]
From 1954 to 1957, 7 state farms were created in the district as part of the Virgin Lands Program.[4]
