History

The arrondissement of Montluçon was created in 1800.[3] At the January 2017 reorganization of the arrondissements of Allier, it lost 14 communes to the arrondissement of Vichy.[4]

1. Cérilly
2. Commentry
3. Domérat-Montluçon-Nord-Ouest
4. Ébreuil
5. Hérisson
6. Huriel
7. Marcillat-en-Combraille
