History

In 1800 the arrondissements of Metz, Briey, Sarreguemines and Thionville were established. In 1871 most of the department was ceded to Germany, except the arrondissement of Briey that joined the new department Meurthe-et-Moselle. In 1919 the department of Moselle was restored, with the arrondissements of Metz-Ville, Metz-Campagne, Boulay-Moselle, Château-Salins, Forbach, Sarrebourg, Sarreguemines, Thionville-Est and Thionville-Ouest. In January 2000 the canton of Sarralbe passed from the arrondissement of Forbach to the arrondissement of Sarreguemines.[2]
