Canton (administrative division) : ウィキペディア英語版
Canton (country subdivision)

A canton is a type of administrative division of a country. In general, cantons are relatively small in terms of area and population when compared to other administrative divisions such as counties, departments or provinces. Internationally the best-known cantons, and the most politically important, are those of Switzerland. As the constituents of the Swiss Confederation, theoretically (and historically) the Swiss cantons are semi-sovereign states.
The term is derived from the French word ''canton'' meaning ''corner'' or ''district'' (from which "Cantonment" is also derived).〔''Oxford English Dictionary'' cantonment and canton, v.〕
== In specific countries ==
Cantons exist (or existed) in the following countries:
*Cantons of Belgium
*Cantons of Bolivia
*Cantons of Bosnia and Herzegovina: federal units of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
*Canada: Canadian French equivalent for the English word "township", since the translation ''municipalité'' is already used for a different level of government (see township).
*
*Cantons of Quebec
*Cantons of Costa Rica: subdivisions below the provinces of Costa Rica
*Cantons of Ecuador: subdivisions below the provinces of Ecuador
*Cantons of El Salvador: divisions of a municipality outside the more urban ''caserios'', which border the town or city. ''Cantones'' can be thought as the more rural parts of a city or town, generally far from the actual urban population.
*Cantons of France: a subdivision of 'arrondissements' and ''départements'', grouping several 'communes'
*Cantons of Lebanon, unofficial areas controlled by the various militias and factions during the Lebanese Civil War and afterwards. Most areas have been returned to Lebanese government control.
