The increasing mechanization of agriculture has had little impact on the community's population. Due to the relative proximity to the greater Paris area and the significantly lower real estate prices in the countryside, the population has increased slightly again in recent decades.

economy

In earlier centuries the inhabitants lived on the produce of their fields and gardens as self-sufficient ; cattle breeding was also carried out on a small scale. Agriculture and retail trade continue to play a major role in the community's economic life. Some houses are designated as holiday homes ( gîtes ).

history

The Roman road Chaussée Jules César from Lutetia (Paris) to Rotomagus (Rouen) or to Juliobona ( Lillebonne ) led through the municipality in antiquity. The oldest traditional place name ( Cumencio ) comes from the High Middle Ages (1085 ); in a document from 1170 it is reported that the Abbey of Saint-Martin de Pontoise in Commeny owned property. The first verifiable church in the village was built around 1200 and was expanded in the 16th century.
