It was named after the river Scheldt (Escô, Schelde), which is called the Escaut in French. It was formed in 1795, when the Southern Netherlands were annexed by France.

The department was subdivided into the following arrondissements and cantons (situation in 1812):[1]
Its population in 1812 was 636,438, and its area was 357,000 hectares.[1] After Napoleon was defeated in 1814, the department became part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. Its territory corresponded with the present Belgian province of East Flanders and the Dutch region of Zeelandic Flanders.
