History

[edit]

The arrondissement of Nantes was created in 1800.[4] In 1926, it absorbed the territory of the dissolved Arrondissement of Ancenis, which was later reestablished in 1943. In January 2017 it lost four communes to the new arrondissement of Châteaubriant-Ancenis.[5]

As a result of the reorganisation of the cantons of France which came into effect in 2015, the borders of the cantons are no longer related to the borders of the arrondissements. The cantons of the arrondissement of Nantes were, as of January 2015:[6]

  1. Aigrefeuille-sur-Maine
