This district was established in 2019 and was formed by merging two tehsils, namely the Gupis Tehsil and the Yasin Tehsil. These two western tehsils were originally part of the larger Ghizer District but were reorganized to create the Gupis-Yasin District as a separate administrative entity within Gilgit-Baltistan.
