History

The Waremme administrative district was created in 1821 by joining the cantons of Avennes and Landen (taken from Huy) and the canton of Waremme (taken from Liège).

During the final fixing of the linguistic border in 1963 the communes of Attenhoven, Eliksem, Laar, Landen, Neerhespen, Neerlanden, Neerwinden, Overhespen, Overwinden, Rumsdorp, Wamont, Walsbets, Houtain-l'Évêque, Wange, and Wezeren were assigned to the Arrondissement of Leuven. The commune of Corswarem and part of Montenaken were assigned to the Arrondissement of Hasselt and the commune of Otrange to the Arrondissement of Tongeren.

In 1965 the communes of Roloux and Voroux-Goreux were transferred from the Arrondissement of Liège.

In 1971 the communes of Borlez and Les Waleffes were transferred from Huy.

In 1977 the commune of Aineffe was transferred from Huy and there were exchanges of territory with the Arrondissement of Liège.
