history
The name Dammartin comes from Dom Martin or Dominus Martinus , Martin of Tours , who Christianized the region in the 4th century. The place gave its name to the county of Dammartin and the house of Dammartin .
From 1811 the route impériale 2 ran through the town. In 1824 this became the Route nationale 2 . In 1970 the traffic load on the road sank because the N2 west of the town was interrupted by the construction of Charles de Gaulle Airport . It was therefore downgraded to D 401 during the 1972 reform .
During the First World War , the Battle of the Marne took place in this area in 1914 .
After the attack on Charlie Hebdo in January 2015, the two assassins Saïd and Chérif Kouachi holed up in a local print shop , where they were shot by the special unit GIGN while trying to escape.
