[edit]

The arrondissement of Belfort was created in 1800 as a part of the departmentHaut-Rhin.[5]This arrondissement was larger than the current one, and also included part that is now in the department Haut-Rhin, for instance the communes Cernay, Dannemarie, Masevaux, Saint-Amarin and Thann.[6]In 1871, when most of Haut-Rhin wasceded to Germany,the part remaining in France became theTerritoire de Belfort.[7]
