The arrondissements of Coulommiers and Fontainebleau were disbanded in 1926, and Fontainebleau was restored in 1988.[6] In February 1993 the arrondissement of Noisiel was created from parts of the arrondissements of Melun and Meaux.[6][7] Torcy replaced Noisiel as subprefecture in April 1994.[6][8] In January 2006 the arrondissement of Provins absorbed the canton of Rebais from the arrondissement of Meaux and the canton of Rozay-en-Brie from the arrondissement of Melun.[6]
