Frise (department)

Frise was the French name of Friesland as a département of the First French Empire. Frise was formed in 1810, when the Kingdom of Holland was annexed by France. Its capital, then as now, was Leeuwarden. The département was subdivided into the following arrondissements and cantons:

* Leeuwarden, cantons: Bergum, Buitenpost, Dokkum, Dronrijp, Franeker, Hallum, Harlingen, Holwerd and Leeuwarden.
* Heerenveen, cantons: Akkrum, Beetsterzwaag, Heerenveen and Oldeberkoop.
* Sneek, cantons: Bolsward, Hindeloopen, Lemmer, Rauwerd and Sneek. After Napoleon was defeated in 1813, the département became part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands.
