History

The arrondissement of La Rochelle was created in 1800.[3] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Charente-Maritime, it gained two communes from the arrondissement of Rochefort, and it lost one commune to the arrondissement of Rochefort.[4]

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 La Rochelle were, as of January 2015:[5]

  1. Ars-en-Ré
  2. Aytré
  3. Courçon
  4. La Jarrie
  5. Marans
  6. La Rochelle-1
  7. La Rochelle-2
  8. La Rochelle-3
  9. La Rochelle-4
  10. La Rochelle-5
  11. La Rochelle-6
  12. La Rochelle-7
  13. La Rochelle-8
  14. La Rochelle-9

gollark: It may be a bad idea, though. OpenOS actually does a *lot*.
gollark: Local variables aren't passed into the stuff inside `load`, but you can pass an environment as I think the 4th argument and add additional stuff to that, or use globals, or pass in the extra stuff as function parameters. You can access parameters inside `load`ed code with `...`.
