history

The place is mentioned for the first time in 1151 under the name Aisunvilla in the copy book of Fesmy Abbey. The name is probably derived from a previous resident of Aizo . Until the French Revolution , the two places belonged to two separate parishes, only until 1794 were the two places administratively merged. Like much of the department, the community was the scene of fierce fighting during the First World War . Between 1901 and 1951 Aisonville-et-Bernoville was connected to the rail network. According to the industrial strength of the region, a train ran between Le Catelet and Guise. Due to declining profitability, the line was discontinued after the Second World War . The rails are no longer visible today, the station building is inhabited.
