Administrative divisions of Latvia before 2009



On 1 July 2009 the 26 districts of Latvia (rajoni, rajons), introduced in 1949  by the Soviet occupation authorities to supersede counties (apriņķi,  apriņķis, e.g. Rīgas apriņķis), were divided into 77 cities (pilsētas,  pilsēta), 10 amalgamated municipalities (novadi,  novads), 24 rural territories (lauku teritorijas,  lauku teritorija) and 475 parishes (pagasti,  pagasts).

The new divisions were in force from 2009 to 2021, when they were superseded by the 2021 reform (see Administrative divisions of Latvia).
