History

[edit]

In 1800 the arrondissements of Melun, Coulommiers, Fontainebleau, Meaux and Provins were established. The arrondissements of Coulommiers and Fontainebleau were disbanded in 1926, and Fontainebleau was restored in 1988.[2] In February 1993 the arrondissement of Noisiel was created from parts of the arrondissements of Melun and Meaux.[2][3] Torcy replaced Noisiel as subprefecture in April 1994.[2][4] In January 2006 the arrondissement of Provins absorbed the canton of Rebais from the arrondissement of Meaux and the canton of Rozay-en-Brie from the arrondissement of Melun.[2]
