History[edit]

The current division of Albania in 373 administrative units was enacted in 2014 andcarried out in June 2015.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

Albania has adjusted its internal organization 21 times sinceits Declaration of Independencefrom theOttoman Empirein 1912. Immediately prior to the most recent reforms, the 308 or 309 communes were rural municipalities which served assecond-level divisionsof the country outside of its cities. They now serve as the level of local government across the country, each under the authority of the nearest urban center and each overseeing any nearby villages. Because of their intermediate status between the cities and villages, the communes are also sometimes known in English translation astowns.
