In the reorganisation of the districts of Rhineland-Palatinate in 1969 the new district of Alzey-Worms was formed by merging parts of the former districts.
The district is named after the city of Worms (which is neighboring, but not belonging to the district) and the city of Alzey (which is the capital of the district).
From there the land gently rises to the Alzey Uplands (Alzeyer Hügelland) in the west, which is the northernmost extension of the Palatine Forest.
