Editing Hauts-de-Seine (section)

==History==
From 1790 to 1968, Hauts-de-Seine was part of the former [[Departments of France|department]] of [[Seine (department)|Seine]].

The Hauts-de-Seine department was created in 1968, from parts of the former departments of [[Seine (department)|Seine]] and [[Seine-et-Oise]]. Its creation reflected the implementation of a law passed in 1964; [[Nanterre]] had already been selected as the [[Prefectures in France|prefecture]] for the new department early in 1965.

In 2016, the [[Departmental Council of Hauts-de-Seine]] voted in favour of a fusion of Hauts-de-Seine and [[Yvelines]], its western neighbour. Following a similar vote in Yvelines, an {{Lang|fr|établissement public interdépartemental}} was established.<ref>[https://www.leparisien.fr/hauts-de-seine-92/fusion-yvelines-hauts-de-seine-pas-question-de-rompre-les-fiancailles-maintenant-16-06-2020-8336757.php "Fusion Yvelines - Hauts-de-Seine : pas question de rompre les fiançailles maintenant"], ''[[Le Parisien]]'', 16 June 2020.</ref> The fusion project was abandoned in 2021, but the cooperation between the two departments continues.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://actu.fr/societe/la-fusion-hauts-de-seine-yvelines-plus-a-l-ordre-du-jour-la-cooperation-maintenue_43210904.html|title=La fusion Hauts-de-Seine/Yvelines "plus à l'ordre du jour", la coopération maintenue|work=Actu.fr|date=5 July 2021}}</ref>
