The Supaul Town is the administrative headquarters of this district. The district is a part of Kosi division.

Supaul District was created from Saharsa district in 1991. Earlier, Supaul was a subdivision.
River Kosi flows through Supaul. After the construction of Kosi Dam the flood situation has improved in Supaul. This year though (2008) the river Kosi changed its course and took the route it used to take 200 years ago. As a result major parts of Supaul districts were flooded. These were the worst floods since 1954.
