The canton of Bouzonville is a French constituency in the arrondissements of Forbach-Boulay-Moselle and Thionville in the Moselle department in the Grand Est region (until 2015 Lorraine ). Its main town is Bouzonville .

history

The canton was founded on February 15, 1790 as part of the establishment of the departments as part of what was then the "District of Sarreloius". When the cantons of Bisten and Gros-Hémestroff were dissolved in 1802, the canton of Bouzonville was expanded to include some of the localities in these cantons. In 1814, further communities from the previous canton of Sarrelouis were added. By 1834, the number of municipalities increased by moving to the canton of Bouzonville to 32. From 1834 to 2015, 32 municipalities belonged to the canton of Bouzonville. From 1871 to 1919 and from 1940 to 1944 there was no further subdivision of the " Bolchen District " at that time . With the reorganization of the cantons in France, the number of municipalities rose to 55 in 2015. In 2015, the municipality of Creutzwald moved to the canton of Boulay-Moselle . All 23 municipalities of the previous canton of Sierck-les-Bains and the municipality of Holling from the canton of Boulay-Moselle were added to the remaining 31 municipalities in the canton of Bouzonville .
