Territoire de Belfort, Administrative division in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France.

The Territoire de Belfort spans 609 square kilometers and contains 102 municipalities, with Belfort serving as the administrative center and largest city.

The Treaty of Frankfurt in 1871 separated this territory from Alsace, allowing it to remain French while the rest of the region was annexed by Germany.

Each municipality within the Territoire de Belfort maintains distinct local traditions, contributing to a varied regional identity across the department.

The department connects to major transportation routes through national highways and rail lines, providing direct access to Switzerland and neighboring French regions.

This department holds number 90 in French administrative classifications, making it the last numbered department in the French territorial organization system.
