History

The commune was the site of a major battle Battle of Loigny-Poupry on Friday, December 2, 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War when a French force of about 300 soldiers under General Gaston De Sonis fought a Prussian force of almost 2000. The battle is commemorated by several monuments including a memorial chapel dedicated to the Sacred Heart.
