History
In 1800 the arrondissements of Toulouse, Castelsarrasin, Muret, Saint-Gaudens and Villefranche were established. The arrondissement of Muret was disbanded in 1803, and restored in 1806. The arrondissement of Castelsarrasin ceded to the new department Tarn-et-Garonne in 1808. The arrondissements of Muret and Villefranche were disbanded in 1926, and Muret was restored again in 1942.[3] In January 2017 the commune Auragne absorbed from the arrondissement of Toulouse to the arrondissement of Muret, and the commune Aignes absorbed from the arrondissement of Muret to the arrondissement of Toulouse.[4]
