: ''For the departamento in Argentina, see Orán Department.'' Oran ( ar, وَهران, Wahrān) was a French ''département'' in Algeria existing from 1848 until 1974. Originally a French province, it was departmentalised on 9 December 1848. Its principal town, Oran, was made the prefecture of the ''département''. There were three French ''départements'' in Algeria: Oran in the west, Alger in the center, and Constantine in the east. Oran covered 67,262 km², encompassing five sub-prefectures of Mascara, Mostaganem, Sidi Bel Abbès, Tiaret and Tlemcen.
