The district was established on April 21, 1989, when its territory was split out of Verkhoyansky District.[4] The district's name refers to its designation as a national (ethnic) district for the Evens, who comprised 32.35% of the population in 1989, as well as its location on the Bytantay River.
The district is located within the Arctic Circle, between the Lena and Yana Rivers. The western section of the district is dominated by the Verkhoyansk Range, the north and east—by the Kular Mountains.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Eveno-Bytantaysky National District is one of the thirty-four in the republic. The district is divided into three rural okrugs (naslegs) which comprise four rural localities. As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Eveno-Bytantaysky Municipal District. Its three rural okrugs are incorporated into three rural settlements within the municipal district.[5] The selo of Batagay-Alyta serves as the administrative center of both the administrative and municipal district.
