List of former municipalities of Switzerland

The basic unit of the state organization of Switzerland, the political communities.

Through community divisions and community associations, many of these communities have been canceled since the founding of the state in 1848, in recent times, especially in the context of actual local government reform projects (especially in the cantons of Fribourg, Lucerne, Ticino and Thurgau ).

The following list is a compilation based on the official community register of Switzerland in 1986, and the subsequent mutation messages ( specifying the mutation number).

Note: The column " Canton " reflects the status at the time of the mutation. Examples: Running 1852 was still the canton of Bern, to Canton Basel-Landschaft. Ocourt 1882 also belonged to the canton of Bern, to Canton Jura.
