  The Departmental Council of Var (French: Conseil départemental du Var) is the deliberative assembly of the French department of Var. The departmental council, currently chaired by Jean-Louis Masson of The Republicans and composed of 46 departmental councillors, elected in 23 cantons, sits in Toulon.
  
  ## History
  
  The Var departmental council was founded on March 4, 1790, following the creation of the French departments by decree of December 22, 1789 taken by the Constituent Assembly to replace the provinces of France. In 1985, Maurice Arreckx, deputy mayor of Toulon, was elected president of the General Council of Var, thus ending the presidency of the socialist Édouard Soldani (nearly 30 years).
