History
[edit]The arrondissement of Alençon was created in 1800.[4] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Orne, it gained nine communes from the arrondissement of Argentan and five communes from the arrondissement of Mortagne-au-Perche, and it lost 11 communes to the arrondissement of Argentan and one commune to the arrondissement of Mortagne-au-Perche.[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 Alençon were, as of January 2015:[6]
- Alençon-1
- Alençon-2
- Alençon-3
- Carrouges
- Courtomer
- Domfront
- La Ferté-Macé
- Juvigny-sous-Andaine
- Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe
- Passais
- Sées
