Seine-et-Oise, Former administrative department in Île-de-France region, France.
Seine-et-Oise encompassed numerous communes surrounding Paris, stretching from the Seine river banks to the fertile valleys of the Oise region.
Established on March 4, 1790, during the French Revolution, Seine-et-Oise served as a crucial administrative territory until its dissolution on January 1, 1968.
The department hosted major governmental institutions in Versailles, where the Palace became the administrative center after the royal court relocated from Paris in 1682.
The territory's strategic location between two rivers facilitated transportation networks and urban development, connecting numerous communities through expanded infrastructure systems.
The department's dissolution led to the creation of several new administrative entities, including Yvelines and Essonne, reshaping the regional organization of Île-de-France.
