The canton of Cusset-Nord is a French former administrative division in the department of Allier and region Auvergne. It was disbanded following the French canton reorganisation which came into effect in March 2015. It consisted of 4 communes,[1] which joined the new canton of Cusset in 2015.[2] Its chef-lieu was Cusset. The canton was established in 1985.[3] It had 13,458 inhabitants (2012).[1]
Geography
[edit]The canton comprised the following communes:[1]
- Bost
- Creuzier-le-Neuf

The fraction of the town of Cusset was defined by "Avenue de Vichy (from the territorial boundary of Vichy), a footpath between Castle Presle and the center of Vichy Cusset education (up to Rue d'Anjou), Rue d'Anjou (to the pedestrian path leading to the water tower), footpath leading to the castle water (up Avenue de Vichy), Avenue de Vichy, Rue de la République, boulevard du General de Gaulle, Place Victor Hugo, Place Radoult-de-Lafosse, Rue Rocher-Fayvé, Place Félix-Cornil, Cours La Fayette, Rue de la Barge, Route de Ferrières, communal way #2 (to chemin des Vignes), Chemin des Vignes, Rue des Tuileries, Chemin de Meunière and Jolan river (up to the limit of the common Molles)."[3]
