After the district fell apart, the area was incorporated into Abaúj and Torna, which were counties of the Kingdom of Hungary.

The region was a part of Abaúj-Torna County from 1882 until the end of World War I.

Excluding a small section in the north, the district formed a part of Abovsko-turnianská župa of the county of Šariš from 1918 to 1923.

After the First Vienna Award in 1938, the district was divided between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany.

After World War II, the region became known as the district of Košice-vidiek, which is part of Košický kraj.
