While the Bavarian uprising in 1705 and 1706 the country defense congress ( "Braunau Parliament") was held in Braunau.

The district was created in 1868.
The district of Braunau am Inn is divided into 46 municipalities, including three cities and five market towns.
The Cologne artist Gunter Demnig laid 13 memorial blocks for Victims of National Socialism on the 11th and 12th August in the district of Braunau am Inn. The former "home district of the Führer" is the first district or county in the German speaking parts of Europe to remind of Nazi victims in this form and in those proportions. Gunter Demnig has placed over 20,000 pavement stones with the inscription “Hier wohnte” (German for “here lived”) in front of the houses of Nazi victims since 1997. However, this occurred mostly in cities, the invitation in rural communities remained the exception.
