history
Finds from the Gallo-Roman period prove an early settlement. The current parish is mentioned for the first time under the Latin name Bernardi vicus in a document from the Saint-Remy Abbey. In a document from the same abbey, the name Bernartmanil appears in 1277 . Historically, Bénaménil belonged to the Duchy of Lorraine , which fell to France in 1766. Until the French Revolution , the community was then in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . From 1793 to 1801, the community was assigned to the Lunéville district and incorporated into the canton of La Neuveville aux Bois (for a few months earlier, the canton of Bénaménil). Since 1801 it was assigned to the arrondissement of Lunéville and the canton of Lunéville-Sud-Est (which became the canton of Lunéville-Sud in 1825). The community was in the old Meurte department until 1871. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department .
