history

Historically, the Baden district developed from the medieval county of Baden , which was a joint rule of the federal estates after the conquest of the former Habsburg Aargau in 1415 and which was in 1798 after the Helvetic Revolution and the associated occupation by the French Swiss canton of Baden were incorporated. In 1803, the canton of Baden was dissolved by the mediation act and merged with the canton of Fricktal and the Swiss canton of Aargau to form the current canton of Aargau.
