History
The area of Aargau was inhabited by the Celts until the Romans conquered it in 15 BC. The Romans established a number of settlements in the area, including Vindonissa, which is now the town of Windisch. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Aargau was controlled by the Alemanni, a Germanic tribe.
In the Middle Ages, Aargau was part of the Duchy of Swabia, and later became part of the Holy Roman Empire. In the 14th century, the Habsburgs gained control of the area and built a number of castles, including Habsburg Castle, which is located in the canton.
In 1415, the Swiss Confederation conquered Aargau and it became a subject territory. In 1798, during the French Revolutionary Wars, Aargau became a canton of the Helvetic Republic. In 1803, it became a canton of Switzerland.
