Oron (district) facts for kids
The Oron District was a special area, a bit like a county, in the Swiss region called the canton of Vaud. Think of a canton as being similar to a state in a country. The main town, or "seat," of the Oron District was Oron-la-Ville. This district no longer exists in the same way today, as Switzerland sometimes reorganizes its administrative areas.
What Was the Oron District?
The Oron District was one of many districts that helped organize the canton of Vaud. These districts were important for local government and managing different communities.
