History[]

The arrondissement of Blois was created in 1800.[4] In 2007 it lost the canton of Saint-Aignan to the arrondissement of Romorantin-Lanthenay.[4] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Loir-et-Cher, it gained three communes from the arrondissement of Romorantin-Lanthenay and four communes from the arrondissement of Vendôme, and it lost 17 communes to the arrondissement of Romorantin-Lanthenay and two communes to the arrondissement of Vendôme.[5] In January 2019 it lost the commune Courmemin to the arrondissement of Romorantin-Lanthenay.[6]
