history
The 8th arrondissement has grown in the 19th century. formed from a few villages during industrialization. On 19 February 1959 prompted Michel Debré (then Premier Ministre ) the formation of several arrondissements (8) and the number of aldermen ( French adjoints municipaux ) (21). On this date, the 8th arrondissement was created and gained its independence from the 7th arrondissement to which it was previously assigned. The city administration examined the area of the new arrondissement for a suitable site for a town hall. From April 1, 1959, the new mayor's office, still a guest in the 7th arrondissement's town hall, registered the first deaths and births. On May 4, 1959, the Conseil municipal (City Council) decided to move into temporary rooms on the Place du Bachut. “La Baraque” starts work after a few weeks on an area of 800 m² and opens on October 1st, 1966. This provisional mayor's office remained in existence for seven years for residents, members of parliament and employees. In March 1963, the mayor proposed the construction of a town hall, which the town council approved with a budget of 11,441,000 francs. The inauguration on October 20, 1966 was attended by numerous residents and the mayor of Lyon , Louis Pradel .
Until 1963, the mayors of the arrondissement were each subordinate to an alderman of the mayor of Lyon , who was each delegated to an arrondissement. It was not until a special law of December 31, 1982 that an elected council of the arrondissement was set up , presided over by an elected mayor of the arrondissement . Robert Batailly (1983 and 1989) was the first to take office.
