history
The area of the Mechelen district belonged to the Mechelen dominion , which was part of the Austrian Netherlands , until the end of the 18th century . In 1790 the United Belgian States emerged from this temporarily . In the First Coalition War , the area was occupied in 1794 and united with the French Republic on the basis of a resolution made by the French National Convention on October 1, 1795 . The administration and the judiciary were adapted to the still new French system and départements , arrondissements and cantons with the associated communes were established. The district Mechelen ( French Arrondissement de Malines ) belonged from 1795 to 1814 for the department of Deux-Nèthes and divided into cantons or peace jurisdictions Duffel , Heist-op-den-Berg ( HeystopdenBerg ), Lier ( Lierra ), Mechelen ( Malines ; 2 cantons) and Puurs ( Puers ).
