Yes and no. There is, necessarily, a high court in every state (e.g., the California Supreme Court). These courts hear appeals from the state trial courts, which are sometimes called "district courts" depending on the state (for example, in Washington state, the county district courts have exclusive jurisdiction over small claims and infractions).
Usually, however, the term "district court" is used to mean the United States District Courts. The U.S. District Courts are federal courts (not state courts), and there is one in every state and territory, but that is a measure of jurisdiction only, and the state geographical boundaries are by no means necessary. The U.S. District Courts are the federal trial courts and cases are appealed to the U.S. Circuit Courts (U.S. Courts of Appeals) and the United States Supreme Court.
