Toponymy

The name Avirey comes from a Roman man's name Avirius[3]

Older versions have been attested: Avireium in 1081, Avirey in 1793, and Avirey-Luigé in 1801.[4]

History

Avirey-Lingey was created through the merger of two parishes, Avirey and Lingey, after the French revolution. A legend tells of a patron saint named Saint Phal who lived in the commune during the 6th century and is registered in the Roman Martyrology. He promoted the fertility of women.[5]

Its vineyard was appreciated by King Henri IV who invited his minister, Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully, to come and drink a glass of his "good wine from Avirey".[6]

During the 17th century there were only few people in the area due to epidemics and famine.

In 1872, Avirey-Lingey consisted of four holiday inns, five grocers, a mill, and a traditional oil mill.[5]

Since 2004 the municipality has launched several major projects related to the conservation and preservation of local heritage, in particular its two main buildings: the church and the town hall.[7] The church was closed in 2004 and a notice of unfitness signed in 2006.[8]

In January 2013, the Mayor announced the development of a socio-cultural hall and the repair of the roof of the Town Hall.[9]

The roof of the Town Hall, which has the distinction of having a bell, was completed in 2013. Restoration work for the Church of Saint-Phal began in 2009 and continued in 2013.[7]

Demography

In 2010 the commune had 220 inhabitants. The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known from the population censuses conducted in the commune since 1793. From the 21st century, a census of communes with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants is held every five years, unlike larger communes that have a sample survey every year.[Note 1]

Notes

  1. At the beginning of the 21st century, the methods of identification have been modified by Law No. 2002-276 of 27 February 2002, the so-called "law of local democracy" and in particular Title V "census operations" allows, after a transitional period running from 2004 to 2008, the annual publication of the legal population of the different French administrative districts. For communes with a population greater than 10,000 inhabitants, a sample survey is conducted annually, the entire territory of these communes is taken into account at the end of the period of five years. The first "legal population" after 1999 under this new law came into force on 1 January 2009 and was based on the census of 2006.
  2. The indicator of concentration of employment is the number of employed people per 100 employable people resident in the commune as defined by Insee.
