History
Isère is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790 with Moirans as its capital.[4] It was formed from part of the former province of Dauphiné.
It was divided in four districts: Grenoble, Saint-Marcellin, La Tour-du-Pin and Vienne. The capital was transfered in 1790 from Moirans to Grenoble.
In 1800, with the creation of the arrondissements in France, the four districts were changed into four arrondissements: Grenoble, Saint-Marcellin, La Tour-du-Pin and Vienne.[4]
On 10 September 1926, the arrondissement of Saint-Marcellin was eliminated.[4]
