History

The etymology of the name Sannois is not very well defined. The name would come from centum nuces , “hundred nut” or rather “hundred Noyer S”, the city then cash much of orchards, and thus of fruit trees. It could also have origins Celtes and come from the words “ san ” (grass with fodder) and “ valley ” (fatty ground). A Latin origin would be also possible with the name centinodium which means hundred measurements of firewood.

The name of “Sannoisien” was given to a substage Oligocène (tertiary era/Cénozoïque), located between -37 and -30 million years. The principal facies are Glaise S with cyrenes (bivalvular), clays green, and the Calcaire of Sannois.

The first indices of human occupation around the current territory of Sannois date from the Paléolithique means (many cut stone tools); they were discovered with the locality the Well-Gohier, with the site of the current exchanger of the A15. These vestiges, the oldest overdrafts in Valley of Montmorency, consist of several thousands of parts in Silex or sandstone, Racloir S, Biface S, points, blades, etc

At the 12th centuries, it is made for the first time mention of Sannois (at the time Centinodium ) in an ecclesiastical register. The village is established then around its church and of its castle to the foot of the Trouillet mount. With and 17th centuries, the city makes true great strides because of its geographical location between Pontoise and Paris and with the establishment of a relay of station. The activity of the city is then primarily agricultural, and especially wine, in particular as from the 18th century. In 1870, the city counted 223 hectares of vine which occupied about half of the population. At the 19th century, agriculture will disappear little by little with the profit from industry. There remained in 1900 only 45 hectares of vines. The careers of Plâtre, which knew a great expansion with the arrival of the Railroad in 1863, all were closed at the end of the Second world war. Recently, the town hall of Sannois replanted a small vineyard and created a post of municipal vine grower. The first grape harvest took place with the autumn 2006.

Palaeographer R. Vaquier announces in his works that Sannois struck some time its own tokens to mitigate the shortage of Monnaie which followed the war immediately.

The city had some time a cake which was clean for him, with nuts and the almond paste, which named “the paving stone of Sannois”.
