Isère is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from part of the former province of Dauphiné. Its area has been reduced by transferring territory to the department of Rhône in 1852, 1967, and 1971.
Its area has been reduced twice, in 1852 and again in 1967, on both occasions losing territory to the department of Rhône.
In 1852 due to rapid urban development round the edge of Lyon, (Isère) 4 communes were transferred to Rhône. In 1967 the redrawing of local government borders led to the creation of the Urban Community of Lyon.  At that time intercommunal groupings of this nature were not permitted to straddle departmental frontiers. Most recently, on 1 April 1971, Colombier-Saugnieu was lost to Rhône.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Isère," ''Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isère (accessed October 30, 2018‎).</ref>
