The canton of Gandersheim existed from 1807 to 1813 in the Einbeck district ( department of the Leine , Kingdom of Westphalia ) and was formed by the Royal Decree of December 24, 1807. Gandersheim was affected by restructuring to finally determine the status of the communities in the department of the Leine on June 16, 1809. After this decree, the municipality of Hehenhausen was split off, with the three municipalities of Opperhausen, Osterbruch and Ackenhausen being added. The municipal division was largely retained. The new municipalities were incorporated into the canton as follows.
