It is bordered by the state of Madhya Pradesh to the north and by the districts of Buldhana to the east, Jalna to the southeast, Aurangabad to the south, Nashik to the southwest, and Dhule to the west.[2]
Before 10 October 1960 the district was known as East Khandesh district (Devnagari : पुर्व खान्देश जिल्हा).
