History
Nested in a valley to 500 m of altitude to the foot of the the Vosges saônoises and at the end the village Is department knew one time plus ostentation with until 3 000 inhabitants at the beginning of the XXe century and sheltering processing industries of metals (Screw, bolts, casement bolts, locks, foundries, brush-factory).
Industrial rise at the 19th century finds its origin with XVIIe in the exploitation of mines of money, of Fer, Molybdène and Plomb.
Since the Années 1960 the formerly flourishing companies (up to 1.500 employment draining the active populations of 20 neighbouring communes) are declining because of progressive disappearance of strategic advantages:
-
Raw materials: the mines closed at the end of the XIXe century!
- expert, modest and courageous Labor: the competition of Peugeot/Alsthom then the rural migration towards the cities reduced to nothing this characteristic. The village counts hardly than a hundred industrial employment. It is true that the entire country knew an evolution in the same direction (although less) since the rate of the industrial employment and passed from 30 to 15 % since 1960.
Today it is a village of reprocessed or dormitory. The houses for sale still find purchasers at Belfortains even of Mulhousians which do not hesitate any more to achieve 50 with 100 daily km to go to their work.
