Before 1 January 2007, it was split into three different districts - Baykitsky, Ilimpiyskiy and Tungussko-Chunsky - as the Evenk Autonomous Okrug—a federal subject (an autonomous okrug) of Russia.
It is located in the central and eastern parts of the krai and borders with Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District in the north, the Sakha Republic and Irkutsk Oblast in the east, Kezhemsky, Boguchansky, Motyginsky, and Severo-Yeniseysky Districts & Yeniseysky District in the south, and with Turukhansky District in the west. The area of the district is 763200km2. Its administrative center is the rural locality (a settlement) of Tura.

River Arga-Sala, the largest tributary of the Olenyok, has its sources in the district. Lake Yessey and Suringda are among of the largest in the area.[7] [8] The southeastern coast of Lake Vivi is a geographical center of Russia.
The district was founded on December 4, 2006.[9]
On 15 March 2019 there was a meteorite that made headlines, called the New Tunguska meteorite. A piece was recovered from the bottom of the Podkamennaya Tunguska River near the village of Uchami in the Krasnoyarsk region. The location is 420 kilometres from site of the large Tunguska Event of 1908.[10]
