History

The arrondissement of Avignon was created in 1800. At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Vaucluse, it received one commune from the arrondissement of Apt and two communes from the arrondissement of Carpentras, and it lost two communes to the arrondissement of Apt and 21 communes to the arrondissement of Carpentras.
