History
Creation of the city
The village was created in 1255 by Huars de Beauffremont, lord of Bulgnéville, on the side of a south-eastern directed hill. It was near an other village, older, named Agéville (or Hagéville). One finds mention of it, under the name of Hadianavilla and Hagianavilla, in 875, in the charter of Louis de Germanie and Metz. It depended on the abbey of Holy Glossinde of Metz. It was located at the North-South East-West way and railway crossing Corre - Soulosse Suriauville- Lignéville, and comprised a parish church dedicated to Blaise saint, whom the inhabitants of Suriauville used.

The Middle Ages
Later, Suriauville depended on the royal baillif of Bourmont, but the recipients of said were the abbess of the Ladies of Holy Glossinde of Metz for a third, Madam the Countess of Curel for a quarter, the Marquis of Salles for 1/8, the Chaplain of the vault of Small the Ash for 1/8 and the priest for 1/6, this one having all small the dîme.
The fortified town nearest to Suriauville was Bulgnéville, which had a fortress and which had developed thanks to its fairs. But Bulgnéville is famous during this time for the Bataille of Bulgnéville, on July 2nd, 1431; this battle opposed the free-Lorraine troops to Anglo-Burgundian for the succession of the throne of the duchy of Lorraine, battles lost by the Lorraine ones.
XVIe century
The seigniory of Suriauville belonged then to the lords of Bulgnéville and Roncourt. In a request of March 21st, 1578, the inhabitants of Suriauville ask to be free of the wood contribution intended to heat the soldiers of Mothe. Indeed, the powerful Lorraine fortress defended all the country, it was necessary well to contribute to its maintenance; and Suriauville was well provided in forest!
XVIIe century
Lorraine was still independent at the beginning of the XVIIe century, under the authority of the duke Charles IV of Lorraine, but it did much envieux, to start with France with Richelieu. The heroic seats of 1634 and 1642 reflect with evil the fortress of Mothe, and this one succumbed in July 1645: it was finished by it independence! Contrary to the signed treaty, Mazarin ordered the complete destruction of the city (which had counted to 3000 inhabitants), and its inhabitants dispersed in the surrounding villages. It was necessary to wait until 1766 and the death of Stanislas so that Lorraine becomes definitively French, there are two centuries and half only!
1645 also correspond with the Guerre Thirty Year old (1628-1658) which did so many devastations in Lorraine. And Agéville, the close village, was precisely striped chart (“ruined”, said Pouillé de Toul in 1749) about 1634 by the Swedes. The vault Saint-Blaise d' Agéville was shaven; the inhabitants of Suriauville thus found themselves without place of worship and the construction of a church with Suriauville was undertaken. In Pouillé de Toul of 1711, one says: “one built a church with Suriauville for the convenience of the parishioners who were obliged to go in Hagéville”. It is possible that there was before, in Suriauville, a vault dedicated to Notre-Dame, but us did not find confirmation of it. The parochial registers of Suriauville start in 1686.
The Revolution
The Registers of grievances are registers where one noted the wishes or complaints of the citizens, and who were intended to the representatives of the people. The Registers of grievances of Suriauville, written in 1789, are particularly eloquent, and representative as for the concerns of the French of the countryside in this end of the XVIIIe century.
XIXe century
After the Revolution, the wars of the Consulate and Empire decimate part of youth. Suriauville, like the other cities of the department, takes an active part in the effort of war; the department of the Vosges being the first to pay its contributions, its name is given to the Royale place of Paris in 1800 (26 fructidor year VIII): the place of the Vosges.
The prosperous village of Suriauville at the XIXe century, its agricultural vocation is confirmed: in the middle of the century, Suriauville has nearly 600 inhabitants. A great part works with the fields, and there exist many craftsmen or trades now disappeared: ironer, blacksmith, dinandier, etc…. The war of 1870 sees the Prussians passing here, the old ones spoke about it about the years later with fear!
XXe century
Material changes are profiled, as well in the landscapes as in the activities of the village. Thus, in the vicinity, water of Contrexéville attracts many “curists” and, especially, a factory of congestion is built, which will employ many workmen, just like that of Vittel. Suriauville becomes little by little a working village, in parallel with its agricultural vocation which is not contradicted.
The war of 1914-18 fact much of devastations in the population: 22 young men leave the life there, which is considerable for a village of 300 hearts! The hotels of Contrexéville are transformed into hospital, the women are with the fields, one survives. At the end of the war, in 1920, one inaugurates the war memorial where the names of the missings are engraved. Whole families are decimated, one counts many orphans, but the life begins again. To the war 1939-1945 which sees this Suriauville time losing its lifeblood, taken along to Germany as Prisoners of war; five long years of captivity which will leave many traumatisms (last prisoners returned in September 1945). Only one child of Suriauville will lose the life at the time of this war. If the Germans are present during all these years, resistance is not done any less sharp for all that, the maquis - as that of Grandrupt - badgering more and more in 1943 and 44. August 11th, 1944, an American fighter plan, flown by lieutenant Franck Michela, of the 355e Ftr Sqn, is cut down above Suriauville, in the wood of Noves. The Release of Suriauville is carried out by Division Leclerc, on September 11th, 1944; and the general Leclerc spends the night to the village, the Desgranges coffee, vis-a-vis the school.
Second half of the century sees agriculture continuing its decline, since there remain only ten exploitations at the end of the years 1990, the outside exerting main part of the workers. And the village, descended below 180 inhabitants, undertook to make go up its population, thanks to some constructions and future allotments. What will not make it possible therefore to reopen the elementary school, closed in the years 1980, for lack of manpower.
Resources and productions
Coal mines : an imperial decree of March 2nd, 1859 “grants to sior MARX (Jean-François) the allotment of coal” on the territory of Suriauville and the surrounding communes. This concession takes the name of “concession of Suriauville”. It active until the beginning of the 20th century, then will be deactivation. A ministerial decree of June 29th, 1923 declares the forfeiture of the Company owner. It will be reactivated temporarily during the second world war.
Forest of exploitation. Pastures, mixed-farming, orchards. Work of wood (sawmill and joinery). Riding school and breeding of ponies.
Today remain ten cattle-breeding farms (mixed-farming). The vines practically disappeared, the craft industry also; the majority of the population works in the factories of congestion of Contrexéville and Vittel.
On the territory of the commune of Suriauville, are collected two sources water: a drinking water drilling is used with consumption of the inhabitants as Contrexéville; the other, of natural mineral water, is used by Nestlé Waters.
Inheritance
Prehistoric vestiges
Several Gallic tumulus strews the forests with Suriauville; the many objects which were found there are exposed to the National museum of Saint-Germain-in-Bush hammer (window n° 9: bracelets of anthracite and bronze) and with that of Épinal. In wood David, in extreme cases of Dombrot-the-Dryness and Crainvilliers, three tombs mérovingiennes were discovered. And, more recently, in the wood of Noves a sword was found, undoubtedly dated from the 14th century.
The church Saint-Blaise
The construction of the church took place after the Thirty Year old war, when Agéville was destroyed, therefore about 1670. If one believes of it Pouillé of Barrois (1749), Suriauville had a priest since the end of the XVII° since it perceived 1/6 of the dîme; it was named by the Abbey of Holy Glossinde, which maintained the church and provided ornaments and sacred vessels. In 1672, the priest names Jean Duhamel, then Contal in 1699 and Caussin in 1703.
One finds trace of the priest of Suriauville at the beginning of the 19th century, with the François abbot. Joseph-Philippe François (1765-1843), directed towards the priesthood by his uncle, the abbot Prelate, belonged to these emigrated priests, driven out France by the Revolution. He exerted of 1797 to 1800 close to Mainz, and returned to France only in 1803, to be named cleaned of Suriauville on March 15th of this year. It was its first parish, and he hoped that it would be the last. He had bought some properties, inter alia several vines. Learning in January 1807 its next nomination with Vrécourt, it wrote to the general vicar: “If it absolutely depended on me to choose between the service roads of Suriauville and Vrécourt to which you have just named me, my choice would be established soon, I would remain in Suriauville by inclination, while I will go in Vrécourt only by having”. One of the reasons which the François abbot pled to ask that one left it in Suriauville, it is that this commune was in market to buy a house curiale.
The priests followed one another Suriauville until the end of the 20th century; the Mathieu priest made a long stay, of more than 50 years, among his parishioners. He succeeded the Mougenot abbot until 1965. But soon, there was not any more a priest attached to the parish, only of the priests serving it and gathered in Vittel.
The church was equipped with a Ungerer clock in 1862, bought 2200 francs. The Ungerer company had succeeded the company of Jean-Baptiste Schwilgué (1776-1856), the author of the astronomical clock cathedral of Strasbourg, and continued to build similar models. The clock of the church was of gauge 5, comprised a wheel of ringing of the quarters and a wheel of ringing of the hours, with bronze wheels, and transformed forever. It disappeared from the bell-tower at one unspecified time, but curiously reappeared in June 2007 on EBay (cf eBay page). The clock, which was at Roland Weiss with Saar-Union, was sold 2.500 euros with a collector clock (dianetpanjiou), only encherissor.
