AARGAU / ARGOVIA
SWISS CANTON OF AARGAU
Aargau, originally a Habsburg possession, was conquered by Swiss troops in 1415. While most of the territory was annexed to the canton of Bern, some minor parts were made Gemeine Herrschaften. This situation lasted until 1798 when all territories were re-grouped into the new cantons of Aargau and Baden.(1) In 1803 these two cantons were merged to form the canton of Aargau. (1) The first canton of Aargau covered the former Berner Aargau. That of Baden included three former Gemeine Herrschaften : - Baden (ruled by Bern, Glarus and Zürich since 1712) - Nieder Freiamt (ruled by Bern, Glarus, Luzern, Schwyz, Unterwalden, Uri, Zug and Zürich since 1712) - Ober Freiamt (ruled by Bern, Glarus and Zürich since 1712) __________________________________________________________________________________CHIEF EXECUTIVES
