History

In the beginning, about the year 613, a smallholding or “Villa” was built by Itta de Nivelles, wife of Pépin of Landen, mayor of the palate of Clotaire II, from where its name “Ittæ Villa”, house of Itte. Become Mayor of the Palate of Dagobert, king of Austrasie, Pip of Landen and its wife left their ground which was given to Saint Gombert, become archbishop of Sens. Passed to évêché from Paris in 795, then with the Chanoines of Paris until in 1594. With the the Middle Ages, it was a girded village of walls to which the “doors testify still today” which gave access to it.

True fortified town until the use of the powder, Itteville was taken by the English during the Guerre One hundred Year old and was repurchased by the Ville of Paris in 1360 at the time of the Traité of Brétigny (close to Chartres). For this period, the canons delegated their powers to the provosts then with the mayors who bought their load and often behaved as small petty tyrants.

In 1594, the chapter of Notre-Dame de Paris sold the seigniory with Jacques Lecomte, adviser of the king; to its death, it passed to Jean de Moucy, his son-in-law. During the Sling, the exactions of people of war were numerous and very large misery one raises, in 1652, 191 deaths in the commune.

In 1714, the Seigniory was divided into two: seigniory of the Spine and seigniory of Itteville, which was still parcelled out thereafter.

In 1789, the parish counted 125 fires. After the Revolution, the village was devastated in 1814 and 1815 by the Cosaques then by the Bavarois. The Guerre of 1870 was worth the invasion of the German to him. With the title of the national subscription for the release of the territory, in 1872, the commune had to pay the sum of 11.985 Francs gold for 799 inhabitants. Itteville paid expensive the victory of 1918: 52 died for 843 inhabitants.

During the war 39-45, the village knew the same torments and mournings that the other French villages then, the joys of the Libération.
