In the Middle Ages, the cathedral chapter Saint-Etienne of Vic-sur-Seille , which was subordinate to the diocese of Metz , owned the Chambery fiefdom . 1698 Chambery became the castellany of Amance allocated by the Gerfaut was clear from Nancy. The parish of Chambrey was part of the administration of the Archpriest of Delme, who was subordinate to the Archdeacon of Vic-sur-Seille, which in turn belonged to the diocese of Metz.
1793 received Chambrey in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and 1801 as Chambray 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 German language was now taught in the school in the French-speaking town .
Chambrey received a train station that was served by the former Nancy – Château-Salins railway. A salt works was built between 1885 and 1887 and employed 35 people from Chambrey and Vic-sur-Seille.
On July 30, 1914, at the beginning of the First World War (1914–1918), the German military was stationed in Chambrey as a border town, and on August 2, 1914, the residents' cattle were driven to Brulange . In the following years it was not possible to bring in the harvest. On August 7, 1914, French troops erected road blocks and occupied the village. The next day they set fire to the salt works . On August 12, 1914, there was a skirmish at the Merlinsol homestead, after which the homestead was set on fire. After the border battles of August 18-20, 1914, the French troops withdrew and destroyed the bridge over the Seille near Salonnes. After that the village was occupied again by German troops. On the night of May 31 to June 1, 1915, Chambrey was evacuated . As a French-speaking village, Chambrey was one of the last 247 parishes whose name was Germanized on September 2, 1915 during the First World War. The name was changed to "Kambrich". In 1917, incendiary bombs destroyed parts of the village, including the nave . Shortly before the end of the war, the Germans took the bells away from the church to cast cannons from them . A few days after the Compiègne armistice , the residents returned to Chambrey. The military cemetery became the municipality's present cemetery. French (1914) and German soldiers were buried on it.
The Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine ceased to exist with the end of the First World War in 1918. Chambrey was then reassigned to the Moselle department.
During the Second World War , Chambrey was occupied again by the Germans, who expelled all of the residents until the liberation in autumn 1944 .
