Cher is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790. It is named after the river Cher.

Most of it was created, along with the adjacent department of Indre from the former province of Berry. The southeastern corner of the department, however, was part of the Duchy of Bourbon.

The Bourges Cathedral of St. Étienne is a major tourist attraction.
