Till 1914 the district was a part of Lakhimpur district of Assam. By government of India(GOI)  notification of 1914, the area covered by this district became a part of Lakhimpur Frontier Tract of the “North East Frontier Tract”. In March 1919 by another notification, the Lakhimpur Frontier Tract along with western sector was renamed as “Balipara Frontier Tract”. In 1946 the district area was curved out from Balipara Frontier Tract and named as “Subansiri Area” with the head quarter at North Lakhimpur. In 1954, Subansiri Area was renamed as “Subansiri Frontier Division” and it’s headquarter was shifted to Ziro. On 1^st September 1965, the Ministry of Home Affairs took over the administrative charge of NEFA from Ministry of External Affairs and Subansiri Frontier Division was renamed as Subansiri district, with Deputy Commissioner as the in-charge of the district.

On 22^nd September 1992, Papum-Pare district was created and inaugurated at Doimukh by the then Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh Sri Gegong Apang bifurcating it from Lower Subansiri district it became the 12^th district of the state. The name of the district is derived from the two rivers which are flowing in the district viz. Papum River flowing in Balijan circle and Pare River flowing from Sangkum Geko touching Leporiang, Sagalee, Toru and Doimukh circles of the district. These two rivers finally drains into mighty Brahmaputra in Assam.
