The district is located on the banks of the Latorytsia River, into which the Vyznytsia, Obava, Syniavka, Koropetskyi Canal and a number of unnamed streams flow. The district center is Mukacheve. The relief of Mukachevo district is mountainous and lowland. In the north of the district there are spurs of the Vygorlat-Hutyn volcanic range and the foothills of the Carpathians, in the south and southwest - the Transcarpathian lowland.
The territory of Mukachevo district has been inhabited since ancient times. The district was formed around the city, which grew up near the feudal castle. According to legends, the name of the district and the city of Mukachevo comes from the word "flour". According to one legend, there was once a water mill near the castle where people ground flour. According to another legend, the commoners built the castle, suffering from suffering and torment.
In the tenth and eleventh centuries, the area was part of Kyivan Rus. In the second half of the eleventh century it was captured by Hungarian feudal lords. In 1086, Mukachevo and the district were invaded by the Polovtsians, and in 1241 the hordes of Batu Khan invaded the area. After the territory was conquered in 1281 by Prince Lev Danylovych of Galicia-Volhynia, in 1321 Mukachevo region was re-joined by Hungary. The district received its legal status for the first time in 1376, when Queen Erzsébet of Hungary presented the city of Mukachevo with a charter for the right to use its own seal to seal documents. For many centuries, the district was attacked by foreigners. It was only after going through wars and bloodshed that the territory was annexed to Soviet Ukraine in 1944. Mukachevo district was formed as an administrative unit in 1946.
