As a part of the 2011 Kallikratis government reform, the regional unit Arcadia was created out of the

former prefecture Arcadia (Greek: Νομός Αρκαδίας). The prefecture had the same territory as the
present regional unit. At the same time, the municipalities were reorganised, according to the table
below.[8]
