history

Today's community is first mentioned in a document in 1114 under the name Borvilla . Borville historically belonged to the bailiwick (Bailliage) Châtel and thus 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. Borville was part of the canton of Bayon from 1793 to 2015 and has been within the canton of Lunéville-2 since 2015. Since 1801 Borville is also assigned to the Arrondissement of Lunéville. Until 1871, the community was in the old Meurt (h) e. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department. In the Thirty Years War the community was almost completely destroyed. In 1644 there were only two households left.
