Cemboing is a municipality in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Cemboing lies at an altitude of 240 m above sea level, four kilometers northwest of Jussey and about 33 kilometers northwest of the city of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the extreme northwest of the department, on a slope sloping slightly to the southeast over the valley of the Mance , in the eastern foothills of the plateau of Langres.
The area of the 10.51 km² municipality covers a section of the undulating landscape west of the upper Saône valley . The northern and eastern border runs partly along the Mance, which flows here with several turns through an alluvial lowland about 1.5 kilometers wide . The floodplain lies at an average of 220 m and is mainly used for agriculture. From the course of the river, the community area extends over the valley floodplain and the slope of Cemboing to the adjacent plateau, which slopes steeply to the north. At 312 m, the highest point in Cemboing is reached on the Rosières plateau. From a geological and tectonic point of view, the terrain consists of alternating layers of sandy, marly and calcareous sediments, which were mainly deposited during the Lias ( Lower Jurassic ).
Neighboring communities of Cemboing are Barges and Blondefontaine in the north, Raincourt in the east, Jussey in the south and Saint-Marcel and Rosières-sur-Mance in the west.
history
Remains of a Gallo-Roman settlement point to a very early settlement of the area. Cemboing was first mentioned in a document as early as 815 as the property of the Luxeuil monastery . The church was donated to Saint-Bénigne in Dijon in 1003 . In the Middle Ages, the village belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in that part of the Bailliage d'Amont . Together with the Franche-Comté , Cemboing finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Numerous houses were destroyed in a major fire in 1814. With the opening of the railway line from Vesoul to Langres, the place was connected to the French railway network in 1858. Today Cemboing is a member of the community association Communauté de communes du Pays Jusséen, which comprises 17 localities .

With 180 inhabitants (January 1, 2017), Cemboing is one of the small communities in the Haute-Saône department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (725 people were still counted in 1881), only minor fluctuations have been recorded since the mid-1970s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Cemboing was a village dominated by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding). Today there are some local small businesses. In the last few decades the village has transformed into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who work in the larger towns in the area.
The place is located off the major thoroughfares near a department road that leads from Jussey to Vitrey-sur-Mance . Further road connections exist with Barges, Raincourt and Noroy-lès-Jussey. The station has now been closed.
