Administrative history
The circle in 1816 Krefeld substantially from the region of the French period furnished cantons formed Krefeld and Uerdingen. The district area was initially divided into the thirteen mayor offices of Bockum, Fischeln, Friemersheim, Krefeld, Langst, Lank, Linn, Neersen, Osterath, Strümp, Süchteln, Uerdingen and Willich.
The mayor's office in Süchteln moved to the Kempen district in 1818 . The mayor's office Neersen was reclassified to the Gladbach district in 1819 ; at the same time, the mayor's office in Klein-Kempen moved from the Gladbach district to the Krefeld district. It was renamed the mayor's office in Anrath in 1840 . The mayor's offices Langst and Strümp were incorporated into the mayor's office in Lank in 1842. In 1845, the municipal code for the Rhine Province gave all places that had their own households the status of a municipality. Krefeld and Uerdingen, the two towns in the district, have been subject to the Rhenish Town Code since 1856 . The circle was then structured as follows:
