Zürich District instance of district of the canton of Zürich
History
In 1814, the former district of Zürich was established including the municipalities – "Landgemeinden des Bezirks Zürich" (country municipalities) – surrounding the old city of Zürich, the so-called Altstadt. The district of Zürich as it exists today, was created on 1 July 1989, by splitting the former district of Zürich into three parts:The western part became the district of Dietikon;
the eastern part became the district (respectively city) of Zürich with its subdivisions;
the municipality of Zollikon located east of Zürich was integrated into the district of Meilen.Therefore, since 1 July 1989, the district of Zürich (SFOS number 0112) shares the same area as the city of Zürich (0261) with its subdivisions totalling 421,878 (as of 31 December 2020) inhabitants on an area of 87.78 km2 (33.89 sq mi).
