History

The arrondissement of Moulins was created in 1800. At the January 2017 reorganization of the arrondissements of Allier, it lost three communes to the arrondissement of Vichy and gained one commune from the arrondissement of Vichy. At the January 2024 reorganization of the arrondissements of Allier, it lost 41 communes to the arrondissement of Vichy and two to the arrondissement of Montluçon, and it gained one from the arrondissement of Montluçon.
