BADEN, the district of, in Switzerland, has three cities, Baden, Keifers Stoul, and Klingnaw, besides a town that passes for a city, named Zurzach. It is one of the finest countries in Switzerland; and is watered with three navigable rivers, the Limmet, Rufs, and Are. The land is fertile in corn and fruit, and there are places on the sides of the Limmet which produce wine. It maintains a communication between the cantons of Zurich and Bern, being seated between their north extremities. It extends on one side to the Are, as far as the place where it falls into the Rhine, and on the other side beyond the Rhine, where there are some villages which depend thereon. Most of the inhabitants are Papists. By the treaty of peace at the conclusion of the war which broke out in 1712 between the Protestant and Popish cantons, this country was yielded to the Protestant cantons of Zurich and Bern. Before, it was the property of the eight old cantons; however, as the canton of Glaris had taken no part in this war, by the consent of both parties its right was still continued.
