{{See also|History of Bauska}}
In the 15th century, [[Bauska Castle]] was built as a [[stronghold]] of the [[Livonian Order]] and a settlement developed around the fortification, called Vairogmiests. In 1584, [[Gotthard Kettler]] instituted a plan to remove the settlement and organize streets for a new town of Bauska, which received its town charter in 1609. The area was annexed by the [[Russian Empire]] in 1795, and an administrative unit was formed 1819 as [[Kreis Bauske]] ({{langx|ru|Бауский уезд}}). When Latvian independence was [[On the Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia#Historical and juridical background|declared]] on 18 November 1918 the kreis was renamed, reorganized and included territory which is now part of [[Lithuania]]. By 1920, Bauska County ({{langx|lv|Bauskas apriņķis}}) included: Bauska Town and 20 parishes: Bauska, [[Bārbele Parish|Bārbele]], [[Brukna Parish|Brukna]], [[Ceraukste Parish|Ceraukste]], [[Ceraukste Parish|Code]], [[Iecava Parish|Iecava]], [[Īslīce Parish|Īslīce]], [[Jaunsaule Parish|Jaunsaule]], [[Kurmene Parish|Kurmene]], [[Mežotne Parish|Mežotne]], [[Misa Parish|Misa]], [[Panemune Parish|Panemune]], [[Rundāle Parish|Rundāle]], [[Skaistkalne Parish|Skaistkalne]], [[Stelpe Parish|Stelpe]], [[Svitene Parish|Svitene]], [[Taurkalne Parish|Taurkalne]], [[Vecsaule Parish|Vecsaule]], [[Vecumnieki Parish|Vecumnieki]], and [[Zālīte Parish|Zālīte]].<ref name="Ābelnieks">{{cite web|last1=Ābelnieks|first1=Raitis|title=History of the Bauska County|url=http://www.bauska.lv/en/history-of-the-bauska-county/|website=Bauska Latvia|publisher=Bauska County Council|accessdate=9 April 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170409162833/http://www.bauska.lv/en/history-of-the-bauska-county/|archivedate=9 April 2017|location=Bauska, Latvia|date=2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
During [[World War II]] Bauska was [[Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940|occupied by Soviet forces]] and heavy fighting destroyed many of the structures of the main town. The [[History of the Jews in Latvia|Jewish Latvian]] population of the area were largely exterminated by [[Nazi]] forces and several thousand residents of the district were deported in 1941 and 1949 during political unrest. [[Soviet re-occupation of Latvia in 1944|Reoccupation of Latvia by the Soviet Union]] at the end of World War II resulted in creation of the Bauska District ({{langx|lv|Bauskas rajons}}) in 1949. The [[Baldone parish]] took over administration of Iecava, Misa, Stelpe, Vecumnieki and Zālīte parishes. The [[Eleja parish]] absorbed Svitene Parish and [[Jaunjelgava parish]] added the territories of Kurmene and Taurkalne parishes.<ref name="Ābelnieks" />
Latvia regained its independence in 1991. The [[Districts of Latvia]] were reformed in 2009 and Bauska District was rendered defunct. It was split between the [[Bauska Municipality|Bauska]], [[Iecava Municipality|Iecava]], [[Rundāle Municipality|Rundāle]] and [[Vecumnieki Municipality|Vecumnieki]] municipalities.
