In 1800, the arrondissements of Châlons-sur-Marne, Épernay, Reims, Sainte-Menehould and Vitry-le-François were established. The arrondissement of Sainte-Menehould was disbanded in 1926, and restored in 1940.[2] In January 2006, the arrondissement of Épernay absorbed the canton of Ay from the arrondissement of Reims.[2]
