[edit] Administration
Its departmental code is 90, and its préfecture (capital) is Belfort.
[edit] History
Created in 1922, it is made up of that part of the former province of Alsace which was retained by France between 1871-1919. The territory was spared German annexation on the ground that people there were French-speaking, unlike those in the rest of Alsace.
[edit] Geography
The département has an area of only 609 km² (235 sq. miles), being the fifth smallest of France (after Paris, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, and Val-de-Marne).
