Notes:

1. Many of the prefectures were originally combined in pairs:
   1. Attica and Boeotia formed Attica-Boeotia
   2. Phthiotis and Phocis formed Phthiotis-Phocis
   3. Corinthia and Argolis formed Argolia-Corinthia
   4. Achaea and Elis formed Elis-Achaia
2. Aetolia-Acarnania originally also included Evrytania. Unlike the rest mentioned above, the prefecture never broke up into two prefectures, thus being the only one left with a composite appellation.
3. Messinia originally included the southern half of what is now Elis.
4. Laconia originally included the southern-eastern half of what is now Messinia.
5. Eboea originally included the islands of what is now Magnesia.
6. The territory of Phthiotis did not originally include the province of Domokos, which was part of Thessaly (under Ottoman rule until 1881). The area currently constituting the Domokos province of the prefecture of Fthiotis only became a part of the Greek state in general, and of Fthiotis in particular, after the annexation of Thessaly to Greece in 1881.
7. Arcadia and the Cyclades are the only prefectures to have their borders unchanged since independence.
8. The capital of Argolis, Nafplion was the first capital of the modern Greek state (1828-1834), before the moving of the capital to Athens by King Otto.
