archeology

The geographical location of Marquette-lez-Lille at the confluence of the Marque and Deûle made the city a witness of history. Archaeological excavations have brought a rich past to light today.

Etymology and history

Church Notre Dame de Lourdes

The name Marckete first appeared in 1143 in a bull by Pope Celestine II about the allocation of altar income to the Saint-Pierre Abbey in Lille. The names Marchete and Markette are also handed down from the years 1221 and 1225 .

In 1340 the inhabitants of Lille won an important (military) victory against the English and the Flemish in the municipality of Marquette under the leadership of the Marquis of Roubaix .

The industrial development of the village was initially limited to the right bank of the Deûle . A chemical industry and a starch factory were established there . From the middle of the 19th century, the construction of a hospital led to the expansion of the village to the other side of the Deûle. The hospital belonged to the parish of Saint-Jean-de-Dieu in the Lommelet district .

At the beginning of the 20th century, two important flour factories were built in Marquette, but it was not until the 1920s that the community began to become more industrialized by a large number of companies that employed the local workforce: Kuhlmann , Decauville , Les Grandes Malteries Modernes , Massey -Harris or Les Grands Moulins de Paris .

The closure of these businesses in the 1970s left much of the land and buildings in a state of total neglect. Since then, the municipality has been working on the rededication of this commercial space, preferably for the benefit of companies in the service sector . Thanks to these urban facilities, the community can now rely on an environment that is constantly improving with the development of various modern infrastructures.

Personalities

Folklore and tradition

The Wambrechies - Marquette tram
  • The hospital for the poor, founded by Joan of Flanders and Constantinople as part of the Marquette Abbey , maintained itself through donations in the form of money or in kind. The latter were mainly poultry. The fat-fed animals were called capons and were given to the poor. In 1968 the city of Marquette decided to revive this custom: “Kapaune”, small biscuits shaped like poultry, are thrown out of the town hall. Some of the biscuits are marked with a symbol and can be exchanged for real animals. Since then, the Capon Festival has been held every year on the third Sunday in March.
  • During the warmer months of the year, the tram museum run by the AMITRAM association offers trips with museum trams on Sundays and public holidays along a 3  km route along the banks of the Deûle . The old vehicles run between the Pont Mabile stops in Marquette and Ferme Saint-Chrysole in Wambrechies .
  • Since around 2003, the city of Marquette has been awarding the Prix Isabelle Aubret for the most beautiful love letter of the year every October .
