history
The place was settled early. This was proven by excavations that unearthed finds from the Gallo-Roman period. The current community is indirectly mentioned in 1157 (Ecclesia de Clausuris) in the Latin form Clausuris in a document from the Belchamp Abbey. A first French form appears in a document from Beaupré Abbey as Cleura in 1176. Clayeures historically belonged to the bailiwick (Bailliage) Rosières-aux-Salines and thus to the Duchy of Lorraine , which fell to France in 1766. The place was badly devastated during the Thirty Years War . In 1644 there were only 4 households left. 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. Clayeures was within the canton of Bayon from 1801 to 2015. Since 1801 Clayeures has also been 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.
