History
In 1800 the arrondissements of Besançon, Baume-les-Dames, Pontarlier and Saint-Hippolyte were established. In 1816 Montbéliard replaced Saint-Hippolyte as subprefecture. The arrondissement of Baume-les-Dames was disbanded in 1926.[4] The arrondissement of Pontarlier was expanded in January 2009 with the two cantons of Pierrefontaine-les-Varans and Vercel-Villedieu-le-Camp from the arrondissement of Besançon, and the canton of Le Russey from the arrondissement of Montbéliard.[4]
