The canton of Cusset-Nord is a French former administrative division in the department of Allier and region Auvergne. It was disbanded following the French canton reorganisation which came into effect in March 2015. It consisted of 4 communes,[1] which joined the new canton of Cusset in 2015.[2] Its chef-lieu was Cusset. The canton was established in 1985.[3] It had 13,458 inhabitants (2012).[1]
