The canton was created in 1798 from the merger of the County of Baden with the Freie Ämter and Kelleramt, all of which had until then been condominiums of the Old Swiss Confederation.
The canton was divided into five districts — Baden, Bremgarten, Muri, Sarmenstorf and Zurzach. The canton, like the others of the Helvetic Republic, was administered by a governor and an administrative chamber , a vice-governor in each district, as well as agents in the municipalities. In 1799, there were 45,982 residents, though the Jewish population was not counted in the census.
