The territory stretches from the Rhône River in the west to the Vercors mountains in the east, encompassing varied terrains and agricultural regions.
The department was established during the French Revolution in 1790, inheriting lands from the former province of Dauphiné and the Comtat Venaissin.
The region produces several distinguished wines, including Clairette de Die sparkling wine, while maintaining strong ties to its agricultural and viticultural traditions.
The department contains 363 communes, with the capital Valence serving as the administrative center and largest city along the Rhône River.
