History The district was created in 1973, when the district Waiblingen was merged with most of the district Backnang and few municipalities from the district Schwäbisch Gmünd.
Geography The district is located in the Swabian-Franconian mountains (Schwäbisch-Fränkischen Bergland). The two rivers Rems and Murr gave the district its name.
