Cubrial is a French municipality with 136 inhabitants (as of January 1 2017) in Doubs in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Cubrial is located at an altitude of 280 m above sea level, seven kilometers south-southwest of Villersexel and about 30 kilometers west of the city of Montbéliard (as the crow flies). The village extends in the hilly landscape between the lowlands of Doubs in the south and Ognon in the north, in the valley basin of the Ruisseau de l'Étang.
The area of the municipal area of 5.92 km² covers a section of the hilly landscape south of the Ognon valley. The central part of the area is crossed in an east-west direction by the broad basin of the Ruisseau de l'Étang, which provides drainage to the Ognon. The valley is flanked by partly wooded hills, some with arable and meadow land: in the south are the Bois des Vignottes and the heights at Château de Bournel, in the north the Reuillard , on which the highest point of Cubrial is reached at 356 m . Further to the north there is the extensive forest area Bois derrière la Côte , which leads to the valley of the Ognon.
The district of Les Faubourgs ( 280 m ) belongs to Cubrial to the west of the village in the valley of the Ruisseau de l'Étang. Neighboring communities of Cubrial are Pont-sur-l'Ognon in the north, Cubry in the east, Nans and Cuse-et-Adrisans in the south and Rougemont in the west.
history
Since the Middle Ages, Cubrial belonged to the noble family von Nans, who were under the rule of Rougemont. Together with Franche-Comté , the village came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Until the construction of the village church in the mid-19th century, Cubrial belonged to the parish of Cuse. Today Cubrial is a member of the Deux Vallées Vertes community association .
Attractions
The village church of Cubrial was built in 1842. It has one of the oldest bells in Franche-Comté with a Gothic inscription from 1540. Also on the village square are the parish hall (Mairie) and the former rectory, which together form a beautiful ensemble from the 19th century.

With 136 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017), Cubrial is one of the small communities in the Doubs department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (301 people were still counted in 1896), only minor fluctuations have been recorded since then.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Cubrial was a village dominated by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. In addition, there are now a few local small businesses, including a sawmill. In the meantime the village has turned into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who work in the larger towns in the area.
The place is well developed in terms of traffic. It is located on the main road D50, which leads from Baume-les-Dames to Villersexel . The closest connection to the A36 motorway is around 17 kilometers away. Further road connections exist with Cubry and Pont-sur-l'Ognon.
