History

When the Haute-Garonne department was created in 1790, Saint-Gaudens was one of the districts of the department and, with the creation of arrondissements in 1800, the arrondissement of Saint-Gaudens was part of that original department.[1]

Geography

It is the most southern of the arrondissements of the department, with an area of 2,139.6 km2 (826 sq mi);[2] most of the arrondissement lies on the Pyrenees mountain range. It is the arrondissement of Haut-Garonne with fewest people living there, with a population with 77,545 inhabitants and a density of 36.2 inhabitants/km²[3]

The arrondissement is bordered north by the Gers (Occitanie) department, to the northeast by the arrondissement of Muret, to the east by the Ariège (Occitanie) department, to the south by Spain and to the west by the Hautes-Pyrénées (Occitanie) department.
