The canton of Vigneulles-lès-Hattonchâtel was part of the district of Saint-Mihiel, created by the decree of 30 January 1790.{{cite book |title=Collection générale des décrets rendus par l'Assemblée Nationale, avec la mention des sanctions et acceptations données par le roi |publisher=Baudouin |page=53 |volume=8 |url=https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/Collection_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_des_d%C3%A9crets_rendu/K2X7S9G4eRsC?hl=en |language=fr}}

Following the cantonal reorganization of 2014, the canton was abolished. All the municipalities were integrated into the canton of Saint-Mihiel.
