The old town center ( "le Vieux-Pays" ) of the village, which has been documented since the 9th century and originally characterized by agriculture , has largely retained its historical character.
Thanks to the convenient transport links, industry and trade have settled here since the 1960s and new housing estates have emerged. The Paris-Nord exhibition center ( Parc des Expositions ) has also been located here since 1981 .
The population of Villepinte has increased almost fivefold since the 1960s, and as in most places on the Parisian banlieue , the newly built housing estates are home to numerous immigrants (they make up around 23% of the municipality's population):
