Its council was based in Camborne (). Other towns in the district included Redruth and Helston. The district also contained the Lizard Peninsula.

Kerrier is named after one of the ancient administrative Hundreds of Cornwall, Kerrier, which covered broadly the same area, but did not have a coast on the north.

Kerrier District Council was abolished on 1 April 2009 as part of structural changes to local government in England.
