The district dates back to the Oberamt Ravensburg , which was created in 1810 when the previously free imperial city Ravensburg and the surrounding area became part of Württemberg . In 1938 the Oberamt was converted into a district and most of the Oberamt Waldsee was merged into the new district. In 1973 the district Wangen was merged into the district, together with a few municipalities from the district Saulgau, Überlingen and Biberach.
