history
Dampvitoux historically belonged to the province of Trois-Évêchés (Three Dioceses), which in fact fell to France in 1552. From 1793 to 1801, the municipality was assigned to the arrondissement and district of Metz and incorporated into the canton of Mars-la-Tour. Since 1801 it was assigned to the canton of Gorze (which later became the canton of Chambley). In 1809 the previous Hagéville (1806: 188 inhabitants), Champs (1806: 87 inhabitants) and Dampvitoux (1806: 174 inhabitants) united to form the new municipality of Hagéville. In 1833 Dampvitoux left again. Until 1871, the municipality was in the old Moselle department. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department . Since 1871 it has belonged to the Arrondissement of Briey. During the First World War, Dampvitoux was largely destroyed.
