History

The first part of the borough's name comes from a person Theotharius; fosse is the French term for digging. The name evolved from animal Fosse ( 1433, first mention) about Thiefot ( 1656) to the present Thiéfosse.

1701, the first chapel was built in the place. The then about 500 inhabitants, the suburb of Ban de Vagney belonged to the parish Vagney. From 1795 Thiéfosse had its own pastor. The chapel was extended in 1820 to a bell tower and in 1851 the church was enlarged. 1854, the conversion was complete, so that in 2004 the 150th anniversary of the Catholic Church was celebrated.
