Canton of Bellinzona

The Canton of Bellinzona was a canton of the Helvetic Republic. It was founded in 1798 after the Ticino had fought under their slogan " liberi e svizzeri " against a connection to the Cisalpine Republic by Napoleon and to remain with the Confederation. It included the four upper ennetbirgischen administrative territories, the Liviner -Thal, Bollenz, Riviera and Bellinzona.

After five years, the cantons Bellinzona and Lugano under the new name of the Canton Ticino (Tessin ) were combined with the Napoleon dictated by the Act of Mediation in 1803.
