The arrondissement of Saint-Pierre, containing 11 communes that were previously part of the arrondissement of Saint-Denis, was created in 1964. It lost four communes to the new arrondissement of Saint-Paul in 1969. In September 2006 it absorbed the two communes of Les Avirons and L'Étang-Salé from the arrondissement of Saint-Paul.
