As parts of the department Seine-et-Oise, the arrondissement of Pontoise was established in 1800, the arrondissement of Montmorency in 1962 and the arrondissement of Argenteuil in 1966.[2] In 1968 the department Val-d'Oise was created from part of the former department Seine-et-Oise, and the arrondissements of Pontoise, Argenteuil and Montmorency became part of it.[3] In March 2000 Sarcelles replaced Montmorency as subprefecture.[3][4]
