The Departmental Council of Nord (French: Conseil départemental du Nord, Picard: Consièl départémintal dech Nord) is the deliberative assembly of the French department of the Nord, the most populous French department. The headquarters of this decentralized local authority are in Lille. Pursuant to a decree of the Constituent Assembly of December 22, 1790, the province of Flanders officially became the Department of Nord on March 4, 1791, with Douai as its capital. The first president of the general council is Louis Joseph de Warenghien de Flory, magistrate and politician in Douai. When it was created, the Nord had 8 arrondissements: Avesnes (now part of Avesnes-sur-Helpe), Bergues (now part of Dunkirk), Cambrai, Douai, Hazebrouck (now part of Dunkirk), Lille, Le Quesnoy (now part of Avesnes-sur-Helpe) and Valenciennes.
