History

[edit]

The arrondissement of Calais was created in 1962 from part of the arrondissement of Boulogne-sur-Mer.[4][5] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Pas-de-Calais, it gained one commune from the arrondissement of Boulogne-sur-Mer and 23 communes from the arrondissement of Saint-Omer.[6]

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 Calais were, as of January 2015:[7]

  1. Calais-Centre
  2. Calais-Est
  3. Calais-Nord-Ouest
  4. Calais-Sud-Est
  5. Guînes
