The cantons, like the departments, were created by the law of 22 December 1789. In most cases, the cantons comprise several municipalities. But the cantons do not always respect the municipal boundaries: the most populated municipalities belong to several cantons. Decree No 2014-182 of 18 February 2014 delimits the boundaries of the cantons of the department of Saône-et-Loire, pursuant to LOI No 2013-403 of 17 May 2013 on the election of departmental councillors, municipal councillors and community councillors, and amending the electoral calendar and its implementing decree No 2013-938 of 18 October 2013.
