The district has an area of 6955.4 km², and a population of 1,021,653 (2001 census). It is bounded on the north and east by Madhya Pradesh state, on the south and southwest by Jhalawar District of Rajasthan, and on the west and northwest by Kota District of Rajasthan. The district has eight tehsils, Anta, Atru, Baran, Chhabra, Chhipa Barod, Kishanganj, Mangrol, and Shahabad.

Before Indian independence in 1947, most of present-day Baran District was part of the princely state of Kota, although Shahabad tehsil was a discontinuous portion of Jhalawar princely state, and Chhabra tehsil was a discontinuous portion of Tonk princely state. After Indian independence, The rulers of the princely states acceded to the Government of India, and the present-day Baran District was made part of Kota District. Baran District was carved out of Kota District on April 10, 1991.
