16th arrondissement of Paris

The 16th arrondissement was created by the Law of 16 June 1859 which incorporated the villages (now neighborhoods) of Auteuil, Passy and Chaillot into Paris; these villages had become communes after the French Revolution and had been in the Seine department ever since. When the law of 1859 was drafted, it was planned that these villages would form a new arrondissement that would be numbered the 13th arrondissement, but "The rich and powerful moving in did not like the number. They pulled strings and became the 16th, the unlucky association and postmark being transferred to the blameless but less influential folks around Porte d'Italie."{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/04/14/travel/for-parisians-it-s-sweet-in-the-16th.html|title=For Parisians, It's Sweet in the Sixteenth|work=New York Times}}

The land area of this arrondissement is 16.305 km² ({{nowrap|6.295 sq mi}} or 4,029 acres), slightly more than half of which consists of the Bois de Boulogne park. Excluding the Bois de Boulogne, its land area is 7.846 km² ({{nowrap|3.029 sq mi}} or 1,939 acres). It is the largest arrondissement in Paris in terms of land area.

The population of the 16th arrondissement peaked in 1962, when it had 227,418 inhabitants. At the last census (2009), the population was 169,372. The 16th arrondissement contains a great deal of business activity; in 1999 it hosted 106,971 jobs.

The 16th arrondissement is commonly thought to be one of the richest parts of Paris (as the saying Auteuil-Neuilly-Passy popularised); it features some of the most expensive real estate in France including the famous Auteuil "villas";The foremost Auteuil villas are: Villa Montmorency, Hameau Boileau, Villa de la Réunion and Villa Victorien Sardou; all of which are inhabited by some of France's wealthiest and most famous citizens including First Lady Carla Bruni (and President Nicolas Sarkozy) or multibillionaires Vincent Bolloré, Arnaud Lagardère, Dominique Desseigne and Alain Afflelou and famous singers Mylène Farmer and Sylvie Vartan heirs to 19th century high-society country houses, they are exclusive gated communities with huge houses surrounded by gardens, which is extremely rare in Paris. It is also the only arrondissement in Paris to be divided into two separate postal codes. The southern part of the arrondissement carries a postal code of 75016, while the northern part has the code of 75116.

Politics

The 16th arrondissement is one of the strongest areas in the country for the French political right. At the 2017 French presidential election, it gave over 58% of its votes in the first round to right-wing candidate François Fillon, compared to his national result of 20%. It then went on to vote for Emmanuel Macron by a landslide in the runoff.
