History

The arrondissement of Fougères was created in 1800.^[4] In 2010 its name was changed to arrondissement of Fougères-Vitré, and it absorbed the six cantons of Argentré-du-Plessis, Châteaubourg, La Guerche-de-Bretagne, Retiers, Vitré-Est and Vitré-Ouest from the arrondissement of Rennes.^[5] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Ille-et-Vilaine, it gained five communes from the arrondissement of Rennes, and it lost four communes to the arrondissement of Rennes.^[6]
