History
editThe arrondissement of Bastia was created as part of the department Golo in 1800. Between 1811 and 1976 it was an arrondissement of the department Corse, since 1976 it has been an arrondissement of the department Haute-Corse.[4] On 1 January 2010, the four cantons of Alto-di-Casaconi, Fiumalto-d'Ampugnani, Campoloro-di-Moriani and Vescovato that previously belonged to the arrondissement of Bastia were added to the arrondissement of Corte, and the two cantons of Le Haut-Nebbio and La Conca-d'Oro to the arrondissement of Calvi.[4][5]
