In 1800 the arrondissements of Montpellier, Béziers, Lodève and Saint-Pons were established. The arrondissements of Lodève and Saint-Pons were disbanded in 1926, and Lodève was restored in 1942.[3] In 2009 the arrondissement of Montpellier lost the three cantons of Aniane, Ganges and Saint-Martin-de-Londres to the arrondissement of Lodève.[4]

five communes from the arrondissement of Béziers to the arrondissement of Lodève
one commune from the arrondissement of Béziers to the arrondissement of Montpellier
seven communes from the arrondissement of Lodève to the arrondissement of Béziers
