History

The name Trémonzey ( 1526 Trimansey ) means three mountains and comes from an old Lorraine dialect. The place was a long time in the area of Terres surséance, which was claimed by the County of Burgundy and the Duchy of Lorraine for centuries. By 1508 there were several contracts for membership of the land. It was not until the Treaty of Besancon, signed on August 25, 1704 between Louis XIV and Duke Leopold of Lorraine, the border was finally established. Trémonzey came up with some other villages in Lorraine, while Fougerolles was French.

Its history is closely connected with the metal processing in Côneytal. To wire production in different tanks in the neighboring village of Fontenoy- le -Château was in 1830 added the nail making, on the one specialized in Trémonzey. Numerous innovations and automation processes led in 1847 to a daily production of 200 kg nails and spikes per worker. 1914 had the wiredrawing 80 employees. The former royal iron nail factory produced 500 tons of nails. 1872 was also the Moulin aux Bois, an old forge converted into a nail factory. The industry led to a degree of prosperity in the community for the period of over a century. 1980 ended the tradition with the closure of the Moulin aux Bois.
