History

The arrondissement of Boulogne-sur-Mer was created in 1800.[3] The arrondissement of Calais was created in 1962 from part of the arrondissement of Boulogne-sur-Mer.[4] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Pas-de-Calais, it lost one commune to the arrondissement of Calais.[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 Boulogne-sur-Mer were, as of January 2015:[6]

  1. Boulogne-sur-Mer-Nord-Est
  2. Boulogne-sur-Mer-Nord-Ouest
  3. Boulogne-sur-Mer-Sud
  4. Desvres
  5. Marquise
  6. Outreau
  7. Le Portel
