The Territoire de Belfort is a département in the Franche-Comté région of eastern France.

Administration


Its departmental code is 90, and its préfecture (capital) is Belfort.

History


Created in 1922, it is made up of that part of the former province of Alsace which was retained by France between 1871-1919. The territory was spared German annexation on the ground that people there were French-speaking, unlike those in the rest of Alsace.

Geography


The département has an area of only 609 km² (235 sq. miles), being the fifth smallest of France (after Paris, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, and Val-de-Marne).
