History The 16th arrondissement was created by the Law of 16 June 1859 which incorporated the villages (now neighborhoods) of Auteuil, Passy and Chaillot into Paris; these villages had become communes after the French Revolution and had been in the Seine department ever since. When the law of 1859 was drafted, it was planned that these villages would form a new arrondissement that would be numbered the 13th arrondissement, but "The rich and powerful moving in did not like the number. They pulled strings and became the 16th, the unlucky association and postmark being transferred to the blameless but less influential folks around Porte d'Italie."https://www.nytimes.com/1985/04/14/travel/for-parisians-it-s-sweet-in-the-16th.html For Parisians, It's Sweet in the Sixteenth New York Times Geography thumb|250px|The quarters of the 16th arrondissement The land area of this arrondissement is 16.305 km2 (6.295 sq mi or 4,029 acres), slightly more than half of which consists of the Bois de Boulogne park.

At the 2017 French presidential election, for example, it gave over 58% of its votes in the first round to right-wing candidate François Fillon, compared to his national result of 20%. However, after the political realignment in French politics in the late 2010s, which saw emerging polarization between Emmanuel Macron’s centrist coalition and the populist-right National Rally, the 16th began breaking for Macronist parties like En Marche! and Renaissance by large margins. Both of the arrondissement’s current representatives in the National Assembly, for instance, are from Renaissance.
