Zürich District (Bezirk Zürich)
 |
In 1814, the former district of Zürich was established including the municipalities – "Landgemeinden des Bezirks Zürich" (country municipalities) – surrounding the old city of Zürich, the so-called Altstadt. The district of Zürich as it exists today, was created on 1 July 1989, by splitting the former district of Zürich into three parts:
* The western part became the district of Dietikon;
* the eastern part became the district (respectively city) of Zürich with its subdivisions;
* the municipality of Zollikon located east of Zürich was integrated into the district of Meilen.
Therefore, since 1 July 1989, the district of Zürich (SFOS number 0112) shares the same area as the city of Zürich (0261) with its subdivisions totalling (as of ) inhabitants on an area of 87.78 km2.
