Note: The regions were originally created on 28 Oct 1956 as "program regions" (régions de programme). On 2 Jun 1960 they were upgraded to "circles for regional action" (circonscriptions d'action régionale). A decree of 14 Mar 1964 created in each region a Regional Economic Development Commission (Commission de Développement Économique Régional),
which by an act of 5 Jul 1972 (implementation of which was initiated 1 Oct 1973) became the Regional Council (Conseil Régional). At the same time the overseas départements were given regional status. The first presidents of the councils were elected between Dec 1973 and Feb 1974. The powers of the councils were significantly upgraded after their first direct
elections which took place 16 Mar 1986 (in the overseas regions and Corse already 20 Feb 1983).
