From 1871 to 1919 there was no further subdivision of the Thann district at that time . On June 28, 1919, the canton became part of the newly founded Arrondissement Thann. On March 22, 2015, the canton was enlarged from 11 to 32 municipalities. Of the 11 previous communes in the canton, 5 moved to other cantons. There were also 27 communities from other cantons. These 27 communes belonged to the cantons of Saint-Amarin (all 15 communes), Thann (10 of the 11 communes) and Masevaux (1 commune) until 2015 .
