Geography

History

THE FIRM SEIGNEURIALE JEROME WOOD: It was probably built about 1400-1450. There remain some vestiges about it: old very thick walls and, in against-low, two small keeps, a bakehouse and pigeon. The buildings of a farm built on the site of the old residence are in the center of this species of cutting off. These are the buildings of farm which remain today. A text of 1780 mentions, in the neighborhoods of the farm seigneuriale, the presence of a windmill, without specifying the exact site of it, as well as tileries, 5, which functioned during approximately 100 years in the forest.

1844: Wood-Jerome absorbs Vault-Saint-Ouen and takes the name of Wood-Jerome-Saint-Ouen. (Source: Schedule of King Louis-Philippe of July 25th, 1844)
