history

Alaincourt-la-Côte is located near the Roman road from Metz (Divodurum) to Delme (Duodecimum) .

The village belonged to Delme and was given together with that municipality in 1661 by Duke Charles IV of Lorraine (1604–1675) due to the Treaty of Vincennes to King Louis XIV (1638–1715) of France.

1793 received Alaincourt-la-Côte (as Alaincourt ) in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and 1801 (as Alincourt ) the right to local self-government. From 1801 to 1871 it belonged to the former Meurthe department , which was renamed the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in 1871 . In 1871 the community was incorporated into the newly created realm of Alsace-Lorraine of the German Empire due to changes in territory due to the course of the Franco-German War (1870–1871) . The realm of Alsace-Lorraine existed until the end of the First World War (1914–1918) and was then dissolved. At that time, Alaincourt-la-Côte was in the Moselle department, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was re-assigned to France. As a French-speaking town, Alaincourt-la-Côte was one of the last 247 communities whose name was Germanized on September 2, 1915. The name was changed to "Allenhofen" and was the official place name until 1918.
