Oloron-Sainte-Marie

The administrative division of Oloron-Sainte-Marie extends across 155 communes in southwestern France, where the Gave d'Aspe and Gave d'Ossau rivers meet.

The territory underwent significant administrative changes in 1926 when the districts of Mauléon and Orthez were dissolved, leading to a redistribution of their communes.

The administrative area maintains records of local traditions, including the production of Ossau-Iraty cheese and the manufacturing heritage of berets.

The district serves 71,686 residents through its administrative functions, managing local governance and public services across its constituent municipalities.

The administrative region connects three distinct valleys - Aspe, Ossau, and Barétous - creating a geographical configuration that influences local administration patterns.
