The district was created by the Local Government Act 1894 from the parts of St Asaph Rural Sanitary District (RSD) in Flintshire.[1] The remainder of the RSD formed St Asaph (Denbigh) Rural District, which was abolished in 1934.

The district comprised nine civil parishes:[2]

The rural district was abolished in 1974 and its area added to the new Borough of Rhuddlan.[3]
