The territory which in 1803 was reconstituted as Canton Aargau in 1415 was conquered by the Swiss Confederation
(previous owners : the Habsburg Dynasty). Until 1798, the area was treated as subject territories of
Bern, Luzern and Zürich, under the names
of Grafschaft Baden (County of Baden, not to be confused with the Margraviate of Baden)
and of the Freie Ämter (Free Districts). The city of Baden frequently hosted sessions of the Swiss Federal Diet. In 1798 the Bernese Aargau formed the Canton of Aargau; the County of Baden and the Freie Ämter joined to form the Canton of Baden. In 1803 the Cantons of Aargau and of Baden merged to form the (larger) Canton of Aargau, within the Swiss Confederation. In 1815 the Frickthal (hitherto Austrian) was annexed. Prior to 1803, Aargau and spelling varieties was applied to the Bernese Aargau; it is advised to also search for the Grafschaft/County of Baden and the Freie Ämter/Free Baillages. Spelling varieties : Aargau, Argau, Argow, Aergow, Argovia, Argovie Historical Atlas, Switzerland Page |
