Ollainville

Vosges municipality (88170) with 60 inhabitants.

Ollainville, in the Vosges, has a history that goes back several centuries:
Middle Ages: The village is mentioned from this period as a small agricultural town. It then depends on local lordships and plays a modest but active role in the rural economy of the region. 
17th century: Like many Lorraine villages, Ollainville is affected by the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), a period of great instability that leads to destruction and a fall in the population. 
French Revolution (1789): The Revolution transforms the status of the village, which becomes a municipality in its own right. This administrative change anchors Ollainville in the new organization of the French territory. 
19th century: Agricultural development and the establishment of new infrastructures mark this period. Ollainville was then a dynamic village where agriculture prospered, and buildings and structures appeared that modernized the living environment. 
First and Second World Wars: The two wars of the 20th century left deep scars. As in the entire region, many inhabitants were mobilized, and Ollainville erected a war memorial in their memory, a reminder of the impact of these conflicts on the town.
