The 26 cantons of Switzerland are the states of the federal state of Switzerland

Each canton was a fully sovereign state with its own borders, army and currency until the establishment of the Swiss federal state in 1848

The most recently created canton is the Canton of Jura, which separated from the Canton of Berne in 1979

In the 16th century, the Old Swiss Confederation was composed of thirteen sovereign cantons, and there were two different kinds: six land (or forest) cantons and seven city (or urban) cantons

Though they were technically part of the Holy Roman Empire, they had become de facto independent when the Swiss defeated Emperor Maximillian in 1499
