history

Until the end of the 18th century the area belonged to the county of Flanders , which was part of the Austrian Netherlands . 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 Arrondissement Veurne ( French Arrondissement de Furnes ) belonged from 1795 to 1814 for Département de la Lys and divided into cantons or peace jurisdictions Diksmuide ( Diksmude ) Haringe ( Haringhe ) Nieuwpoort ( Nieuport ) and Veurne ( Furnes ). Today Diksmuide belongs to the district of the same name .
