History
Seine-Maritime was initially and previously known as Seine-Inférieure; but this first denomination was dropped on January 18, 1955.
In fact, all département denominations starting with "Bas-" (Low-) or including "Inférieur" have been gradually switched to a more "positive" denomination, with the exception of the département Bas-Rhin.
[edit]
Geography
The département includes the chalky plateau of the Pays de Caux and the cliffs of the English Channel coast.
