History
The arrondissement of Bazas was created in 1800. The subprefecture was moved to Langon in 1926.
[Historique de la Gironde]

As a result of the reorganisation of the cantons of France which came into effect in 2015, the borders of the cantons are no longer related to the borders of the arrondissements. The cantons of the arrondissement of Langon were, as of January 2015:
