The district is named after one of the ancient administrative Hundreds of Cornwall, which covered broadly the same area, but did not have a coast on the north, like the modern district. See Kerrier (hundred).

The district was formed on April 1, 1974, as a merger of the borough of Helston, the urban district of Camborne-Redruth and Kerrier Rural District.

Interestingly, Cornish musician Luke Vibert has released a self-titled album under the alias Kerrier District, as a nod to New York musicians Metro Area and a tribute to the place where he grew up.
