[edit]

The arrondissement of La Châtre was created in 1800.[4] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Indre, it gained one commune from the arrondissement of Châteauroux, and it lost eight communes to the arrondissement of Châteauroux.[5]

As a result of the reorganisation of the cantons of France which came into effect in 2015, the borders of the cantons are no longer related to the borders of the arrondissements. The cantons of the arrondissement of La Châtre were, as of January 2015:[6]

  1. Aigurande
  2. La Châtre
  3. Éguzon-Chantôme
  4. Neuvy-Saint-Sépulchre
  5. Sainte-Sévère-sur-Indre
