History

The situation of this village in edge of the plain of the Marne in fact a crossing point since several thousands of years.

The Toponymie reveals a strong occupation Romaine, the name of Plivot even is a deterioration of Plebeius , name of Latin man. One finds there also a dead end of Gratigny , “ Gratianus ”: meaning house of Gratien . As many indications of the presence of rural villas.

Located in Belgium Second, the community is included in the Diocèse of Rheims as of the top Moyen-âge.

Most of its territory becomes then the possession of powerful religious establishments. An evolution which attests of many documents: “ Plebeia, supra Matronam ” at the 9th century, “… Villa that vocatur Pliviacus …” in 1103, “… Villa that Pleveias dicitur juxta Marollium Castellum …”, in 1122, Pleveys in 1311. Plivot in 1529 appears in its writing actuelle.
Besides the “Villas”, in fact of the agricultural establishments, provide vivres and labor to the abbeys, two of enter they name in alternation the priest of the village, Hautvillers and St Remy. It is under the latter term that the first church of the village will be built.
Of it one second ago dedicated with St Quentin and set up between the end of Xe and the middle of the 11th century by the abbey St Denis of Rheims. Appendix of the preceding one, it is seen allotted a cure between 1083 and 1096 (under the Renaud archbishop of Bellay). At the 13th century, it will undergo a transformation of its Gothic nave. It is the parish church today, St Remy was demolished in 1686 because of its bad condition and for lack of means to maintain it.

In term of vassalage the village seems to depend on Mareuil-on-Ay, powerful châtellenie of the counts de Champagne at the beginning of the 13th century, a Vicomte of Plivot is attested in 1241.
But at the end of XIIIe century, Gerard of Remi and his wife (heiress of the seigniory) cannot place in the strong house ruined at this time (there remains the street of about it Behind the turns ). One period which as a whole is a time of prosperity, in addition to a chaplaincy of claustral office co. Catherine (born from a donation in 1200 of the Countess Beatrix de Roucy, Viscountess of Mareuil-on-Ay) one finds in 1291 in the village a Hôpital, the two depend one on the abbey St Denis.
With the end of the County of Champagne and the loss of the advantages granted to the fairs, a slow economic recession settles. The Guerre One hundred Year old ruined Plivot located on the road of the English rides with its troops of plunderers in 1358, 1373 and 1380 enter others, all the Vallée of the Marne was devastated. It is necessary to add to that the appearance of the Famine related on a harmful cooling general to the cultures (one speaks about small age refrigerator for the climate in force after 1350) and the devastations of the Peste in 1348 which endeuilla the area in an endemic way then in 1400, 1455, 1483.

The Champagne finds an unquestionable richness as of the end of the 15th century, a climatic rise in temperature supports better harvests, the absence of war reassures, the trade begins again. While the cities thrive again, they see their population increasing. Plivot does not make exception and account 100 fires in 1664 (350 inhabitants approximately). There the wars of religion had only few consequences on its growth (the church St Remy burns however at the time of the passage of Huguenotes troops in 1567) but started the recruitment of a schoolmaster present in 1659, it is necessary to see there the result of Against Réforme. During this period if agriculture is the independent source of primarily made richness of Seigle, of a little wheat and breeding, the Artisanat develops to with it. A relay of station functions at least since 1612, it ensures the transport, the reception of diligences and improves the connections between Épernay and Châlons. At the 18th century, Plivot continues its extension around a road Paris - Strasbourg largely renovated between 1744 and 1749, a schoolmistress is instituted there in 1742 in order to deal with the little girls of the village. The day before the Revolution, they is 426 inhabitants who populate a flourishing parish.

A fire in 1750 destroyed the roofs of the church St Quentin as 40 houses in the center of the village however Plivot goes back and passes from there without too much evil the Révolutionnaire period. Times which follow are prosperous, it remains of this time one of the first town halls (1794), the Presbytère (XVIIIe) where was held the classes of 1793 with 1812, the news school built in 1851, following presbyteries: that of 1812 with 1838 and the current one in service of 1838 with 2002, the school of the girls of 1841 and the public place of 1862. In 1856, there were 539 people listed in the commune, a song of the swan to some extent, the decline starts irremediably. With the Industrialization of the surrounding cities providers of employment, an agriculture which industrializes it is a whole rural world which migrates hoping to better live while going to work in the factories with Épernay, Châlons, Rheims, etc

Plivot, after a long eclipse, (380 inhabitants in 1900, 319 in 1931) gradually reconquers the lost ground (436 inhabitants in 1975, 518 in 1995). Since a score of years of many families settled there with the search for a quality of life and the quietude of a space still preserved while benefitting from renovated installations and adapted services (active associations, gymnasium, increased schools, natural course, etc)

A step in which the majority of the 640 residents of the village are recognized today and which each one wishes to see amplified in the future.
