It was established in October 1953 with records covering the judicial districts of Jablonec nad Nisou and Tanvald. As a result of administrative reform in 1960 the area was expanded to include a substantial portion of the former judicial district of Železný Brod and several communities from the judicial district of Turnov and Vysoké nad Jizerou. In 2002 the State District Archives became an internal organisational unit of the state regional archives of Litoměřice.
