It is called the Upper Rhine. Haut-Rhin is the smaller and less densely populated of the two departments of the former administrative Alsace region. The other is Bas-Rhin, which is bigger and more densely populated (Lower Rhine). In 1871, the southern territory known as Territoire de Belfort was given away. Even though it is still densely populated compared to the rest of metropolitan France, it isn't as crowded as it used to be. On January 1, 2021, the departments of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin were merged into the European Collectivity of Alsace, which is part of France.
