Clervaux (canton) in the context of Districts of Luxembourg

The three districts of Luxembourg (French: district [distʁikt] ; German: Distrikt [dɪsˈtʁɪkt] ; Luxembourgish: Distrikt) were the top-level administrative divisions of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The districts were further subdivided into cantons, which still exist:

The cantons were created on 24 February 1843. In 1857, Mersch District was created from the cantons of Mersch and Redange. However, this fourth district was abolished in 1867, when the re-arrangements of 1857 were undone.
