The canton's official name is Basel-Stadt (Bâle-Ville). It's often rendered "Basel-City" in English, but the cantonal government refers to itself in English as "Canton of Basel-Stadt."
The official English name of the canton is (or was) Basel-Country (Basel-Landschaft, Bâle-Campagne, Basilea-Campagna). It's often shortened to Basel-Land and its abbreviation is BL. In English it was (as of 2008) the "Canton of Basel-Country."
Historically this area was a dependency or fiefdom of feudal lords, especially the Bishop of Basel; then it became subject to the city as the Regio basiliensis or Baselbiet. It's German-speaking.
