The canton of Bettmar existed from 1807 to 1813 in the Braunschweig district in the Oker department in the Kingdom of Westphalia and was formed by the Royal Decree of December 24, 1807.
After the dissolution of the Kingdom of Westphalia and the constitution of the Duchy of Braunschweig , the state administration was reorganized. In 1814 the former cantons of Bettmar, Braunschweig-Land (West) and Peine-Land were merged. The official and court seat was in Bettmar until 1825. On October 1, 1825, the administrative headquarters were moved to the Vechelde country castle and the Vechelde office was restituted.
Today the former municipalities are predominantly districts of the municipality of Vechelde in the district of Peine . Broistedt is a part of the municipality of Lengede in the district of Peine.
