History

The district was founded in 1878, when the former Kubiki District split into Higashikubiki District, Nakakubiki District, and Nishikubiki District. At the time of founding, the district covered most of the city of Jōetsu (excluding the sections of Yasuzuka, Utakawa, Ōshima and Maki from Higashikubiki District, and the section of Nadachi from Nishikubiki District), the city of Myōkō, and parts of the city of Kashiwazaki (the areas of Agewa (Kamiwa), Takaze (Takahane) and Warabino from the former municipality of Kakizaki). The district seat was located at the village of Takagi (now the city of Jōetsu).
