The Seine Maritime Department was created in 1790, during the French Revolution. Until 1955 he was known as Seine-Inférieur.
The main cities of the department are Rouen (prefecture), Le Havre and Dieppe. Other notable cities are Fécamp, Petit-Quevilly, Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, Elbeuf or Montivilliers, all steeped in history.
