## History

The arrondissement of Épernay was created in 1800. In January 2006 it absorbed the canton of Ay from the arrondissement of Reims. At the April 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Marne, it gained 23 communes from the arrondissement of Châlons-en-Champagne and 13 communes from the arrondissement of Reims, and it lost four communes to the arrondissement of Châlons-en-Champagne.

* Anglure

* Ay
* Dormans
* Épernay-1
