Canton of La Neuveville
The canton of La Neuveville ( French Canton de La Neuveville ) was a canton of the First French Republic on the territory of today's Canton of Bern in Switzerland .
It was created on November 19, 1797, when the southern half of the former Principality of Basel, which had not yet been formally annexed , was assigned to the Mont-Terrible department, which was created in 1793 . The canton essentially corresponded to the former rule of Diesse (Tessenberg) and comprised five municipalities:
- This
- Lamboing
- La Neuveville (main town)
- Nods
- Prêles
According to a circular from the Ministry of the Interior of the 7th Frimaire of the year VI (November 27, 1797), the canton of La Neuveville had 2683 inhabitants, 544 of whom were eligible to vote. It was repealed under the law of the 28th Pluviôse of the year VIII (February 17th, 1800) and the communes came to the canton of Biel in the arrondissement of Delsberg in the department of Haut-Rhin .
