History
The arrondissement of Tournon-sur-Rhône was created in 1800. At the January 2017 reorganization of the arrondissements of Ardèche, it gained five communes from the arrondissement of Privas and it lost three communes to the arrondissement of Largentière and eight communes to the arrondissement of Privas.

Why this record matters
The phrase “arrondissement of France” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q702655. Authority coordinates are 45.065, 4.837. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2021, 1800, 2017 and 2015.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
