In 1871, the Haut-Rhin department became part of [[Germany]].

The ''arrondissements'' Colmar-Ville and Colmar-Campagne were combined in 1934 to form the ''arrondissement'' of Colmar.<ref name=splaf />

In 2015, the ''arrondissement'' of Ribeauvillé was eliminated and the name of the ''arrondissement'' of Colmar was changed to Colmar-Ribeauvillé.
