The arrondissement of Brignoles was created in 1800, disbanded in 1926 and restored in 1974.[4] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Var, it received six communes from the arrondissement of Draguignan and two communes from the arrondissement of Toulon, and it lost two communes to the arrondissement of Draguignan.[5]
