The rural district was formed in 1934 by the merger of most of Mutford and Lothingland Rural District along with part of Blything Rural District, both of which were being abolished. [2] It covered a coastal area between Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
The district was administered from offices in Rectory Road, Lowestoft. The site is now occupied by Kingswear Court.
The district was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, and split between the new districts of the borough of Great Yarmouth (in Norfolk) and Waveney (in Suffolk).
