In addition to the 14 municipalities of the old canton of Maur, five additional municipalities were added: four from Saint-Mamet-la-Salvetat and one from Aurillac-2 . Therefore, since 2015 the canton of Maurs has nineteen municipalities. Before 2015 it had a different INSEE code than it does today, namely 1510.
