Францияның Сен-Маритим департаменті

Department of France

Seine Maritime (sɛn maʁitim) is a department of France in the Normandy region of northern France. It is situated on the northern coast of France, at the mouth of the Seine, and includes the cities of Rouen and Le Havre. Until 1955 it was named Seine Inférieure. It had a population of 1,255,633 in 2019.

The département was created in 1790 as Seine Inférieure, one of five departements that replaced the former province of Normandy. In 1800 five arrondissements were created within the département, namely Rouen, Le Havre, Dieppe, Neufchatel and Yvetot, although the latter two were disbanded in 1926. On 18 January 1955 the name of the département was changed to Seine Maritime, in order to provide a more positive sounding name and in keeping with changes made in a number of other French departements.

The president of the Departmental Council is Bertrand Bellanger, elected in 2019.
