The territory of today's Brno-Tuřany city district was annexed to Brno in three stages: on April 16, 1919, the municipalities of Brněnské Ivanovice, Tuřany, Komárov, Černovice and Slatina were annexed (the three latter municipalities also included the territory of modern Brno-Tuřany), On July 1, 1960, the village of Holásky, and finally on September 1, 1970, the village of Dvorska.

As part of this reform, the cadastral boundary of Brněnské Ivanovice and Tuřany was moved from 1. května Street to the line formed by Rolencová, Glocová, Zezulová and Měšťanská Streets, which, in addition to moving a number of houses, also brought about the transfer of the originally Tuřany primary school to the Brněnské Ivanovice cadastral territory.

Already before 1918, the development of Brněnské Ivanovice and Tuřany was almost completely connected, which practically forms a single large urban unit, while the two districts are separated from each other only by relatively narrow streets.

On the other hand, the somewhat isolated development of the former village of Dvorska, located at the south-eastern border of Brno, forms a completely independent unit.

Among the monuments, the Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary is well-known, which is located in the historical core of Tuřany and at the same time forms a prominent feature of this district that is clearly visible from some streets.

The route of the railway line 300 Přerov – Brno also passes through the territory of the city district in a north-south direction, but there is no stop on it.
