History:
From 1833 to 1899, the prefecture was Argolidocorinthia and included Hydra, Spetses and Kythira. It joined Corinthia to form Argolidocorinthia again in 1909.
Forty years later, in 1949, the prefecture was finally separated from Corinthia, then Argolidocorinthia.
In early 1998, a flash flood carrying muddy water in the valley near Argos devastated citrus crops and other farming including pasture and other fruits. Damages were in the millions of drachmas or hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
