Canton (district)

A canton is a territorial subdivision of a country, e.g. region or state. The following cantons exist:

Cantons of Switzerland: each a state (national) within Switzerland
Cantons of France: a subdivision of arrondissements and departments of France, grouping several municipalities (communes)
Cantons of Luxembourg: a subdivision of the districts of Luxembourg
Cantons of Bosnia: a subdivision of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina

In 1873, Cantonalists got the power of Cartagena, haven for the Spanish Navy, and declared the city independent.
