History
In 1827 a first district around the city Euskirchen was created, however much smaller then today. In 1932 the district Rheinbach was dissolved, which gained the Euskirchen district it's southern part. In 1972 the Euskirchen district did again grow by the inclusion of the Schleiden district
Geography
Geographically the district is inside the Eifel hill chain, no good agricultural land which made the area rather poor. The only wealth was the iron ore, today it's the nature with the many forest which make the area interesting for tourists.
