== History ==
Val-de-Marne was created in January 1968, through the implementation of a law passed in July 1964.   Positioned to the south-east of the [[Boulevard Périphérique|Paris ring road]] (and the line of the [[Thiers wall|old city walls]]), it was formed from the southern-eastern part of the (previously much larger) [[Seine (department)|Seine department]], together with a small portion taken from the broken-up department of [[Seine-et-Oise]].
