On 1 January 1968, the departments of the Paris metropolitan area were reorganized. Val-d'Oise and two other departments, Yvelines and Essonne, were created from the previous department of Seine-et-Oise, which was abolished at that time. The department of Seine-et-Oise encompassed the western, northern, and southern parts of the metropolitan area of Paris, completely surrounding the Seine department, which was abolished at the same time (see [[Paris, France Genealogy]]).  Seine-et-Oise was created on 4 March 1790.

Seine-et-Oise was created on 4 March 1790.
 
The original departments of France were established in 1790 when the French National Assembly split the country into 83 departments of the same size and population. They were designed as sets of communes, and when better maps became available, certain revisions were made. After defeat by the Prussians in 1871, certain territories were ceded to them and some rearrangements made.<br>In 1955 and 1957, some departments changed their names and in 1964, it was determined to divide up the departments of Seine and Seine-et-Oise. Val-d'Oise was one of the new departments formed, and was created entirely from the previous department of Seine-et-Oise.<br>
Adjacent departments are Hauts-de-Seine, Yvelines, Eure, Oise, Seine-et-Marne, and Seine-Saint-Denis.
