Nakasongola district came into existence in 1997. It is made up of one county. Buruli which was formerly part of Luwero District.
In the 1970s, during the Idi Amin regime era, Nakasongora gained sub-district status. The commission of inquiry into the local government system in 1987 recognized that Nakasongola was too far away from the administrative centre of Luwero to be administered directly from there hence suffered from relative neglect. This later became the basis for the creation of Nakasongola District in 1997. The main language is Lururi and Luganda.

Transport Network
The district is connected by a tarmac road to Masindi and Luwero District. The feeder-road network however is inadequate. Traveling within the district is a problem as means of transport are hard to get. This greatly affects transportation of agricultural produce within the city. Once products reach the tarmac road however, it finds a ready market both in the neighboring districts of Luwero and Masindi and as far as far away as Kampala.
