History

[edit]

The arrondissement of Digne-les-Bains was created in 1800.[4] At the January 2017 reorganization of the arrondissements of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, it lost nine communes to the arrondissement of Castellane and 16 communes to the arrondissement of Forcalquier, and it gained six communes from the arrondissement of Forcalquier.[5]

  4. La Javie
