Carouge

Western Europe

Carouge is a municipality in the canton of Geneva, Switzerland, located south of the Rhone and Arve rivers. The present town was planned and built by Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia, King of Sardinia and Duke of Savoy, beginning in the 1760s, and it received city status in 1786. Revolutionary France took it in 1792, it returned to the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1814, and the Treaty of Turin of 1816 transferred it to the canton of Geneva and so to the Swiss Confederation. Carouge covers about 2.7 square kilometres, most of it built up, and had more than 22,000 residents at the end of 2020, a population that grew by about a fifth in a decade.
