History

The arrondissement of Confolens was created in 1800. On 1 January 2008 the four cantons of Aigre, Mansle, Ruffec and Villefagnan that previously belonged to the arrondissement of Angoulême were added to the arrondissement of Confolens. At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Charente, it gained 15 communes from the arrondissement of Angoulême.

As a result of the reorganisation of the cantons of France which came into effect in 2015, the borders of the cantons are no longer related to the borders of the arrondissements. The cantons of the arrondissement of Confolens were, as of January 2015:

  1. Aigre
  2. Chabanais
  3. Champagne-Mouton
  4. Confolens-Nord
  5. Confolens-Sud
  6. Mansle
  7. Montemboeuf
  8. Ruffec
  9. Saint-Claud
  10. Villefagnan
