History

The district was created in 1973, when the district Waiblingen was merged with most of the district Backnang and few municipalities from the district Schwäbisch Gmünd.

Geography

The biggest part of the district is located in the Swabian-Franconian mountains (Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald). The two rivers Rems and Murr gave the district its name.
