List of cantons in Guadeloupe

The French overseas department of Guadeloupe originally consisted of 43 cantons in three arrondissements . After the arrondissement Saint-Martin-Saint-Barthélemy , which consisted of three cantons with a total of two municipalities, was dissolved on February 22, 2007 , there were now two arrondissements in Guadeloupe. The two parishes from the dissolved arrondissement, Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin , became Collectivité d'outre-mer of France . This reduced the number of cantons to 40 and the number of arrondissements to two. In 2014 the number of cantons was reduced to 21. Since then, the cantons have only been constituencies without their own administrative authority.
