History

The arrondissement of Rodez was created in 1800.^[4] At the January 2017 reorganization of the arrondissements of Aveyron, it lost 19 communes to the arrondissement of Millau and 34 communes to the arrondissement of Villefranche-de-Rouergue, and it gained six communes from the arrondissement of Millau.^[5]
