After the 2006 National Census, Khoshab District was separated from Sabzevar County in the establishment of Khoshab County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with Soltanabad as its capital and only city at the time.[3]

The census in 2011 counted 37,914 people in 10,989 households.[4] At the 2016 census, the county's population was 37,181 in 11,883 households.[2]
