The municipality was formed in 2009 by merging parts of the dissolved Dobele district: Bēne Parish, Lielauce Parish, Ukri Parish, Vītiņi Parish, Īle Parish and Auce town with its countryside territory (which later became Vecauce Parish). The administrative center was Auce.
On 1 July 2021, Auce Municipality ceased to exist and its territory was merged into Dobele Municipality.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Administratīvo teritoriju un apdzīvoto vietu likums |url=https://likumi.lv/doc.php?id=315654 |access-date=2024-08-08 |website=LIKUMI.LV |language=lv}}</ref>
