History

The arrondissement of Argentan was created in 1800.[3] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Orne, it gained 11 communes from the arrondissement of Alençon, and it lost nine communes to the arrondissement of Alençon and 49 communes to the arrondissement of Mortagne-au-Perche.[4]
