history
The place was first mentioned in 1060 , when King Henry I donated goods in Aubervilliers to the Abbey of Saint-Martin-des-Champs in Paris.
Until the 19th century it was shaped by agriculture. Only with the growth of Paris did the cityscape change. Industries settled in, and the population increased accordingly with the influx of industrial workers from Paris to the less expensive suburbs. From the 1960s onwards, high-rise buildings made of prefabricated panels were added, in which mainly immigrants settled. Today Aubervilliers is a multicultural city with 41 different nationalities and a center of Islam in France .
