History
[edit]The arrondissement of Besançon was created in 1800.[4] In 2009 the two cantons of Pierrefontaine-les-Varans and Vercel-Villedieu-le-Camp that previously belonged to the arrondissement of Besançon were added to the arrondissement of Pontarlier.[4][5]
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 Besançon were, as of January 2015:[6]
- Amancey

- Baume-les-Dames
- Besançon-Est
- Besançon-Nord-Est
- Besançon-Nord-Ouest
- Besançon-Ouest
