Dinozé is a French commune with 604 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017) in the Vosges department in the Grand Est region (until 2015 Lorraine ). It belongs to the Arrondissement Épinal and the municipal association Épinal .
geography
Dinozé is located on the upper Moselle , immediately southeast of Épinal , the capital ( prefecture ) of the Vosges department.
The municipality of Dinozé, just under three square kilometers in size, comprises a section of the left (southern) bank of the Moselle and its hinterland east and west of the Ruisseau de Rainjumenil river , which rises near Dounoux on the Rhine / Rhône watershed and flows into the Moselle in Dinozé. The highest point is 477 meters above sea level, about 130 meters above the valley floor of the Moselle.
Half of the municipal area consists of forest ( Bois d'Arches ). The main settlement axis runs along the banks of the Moselle, and there are also farms scattered above the valley. Agricultural use is mainly limited to grazing areas on the slopes.
The district of Le Quéquement belongs to Dinozé .
Neighboring communities of Dinozé are Épinal in the west and north, Arches in the east and south and Dounoux in the southwest.
history
The municipality was created in 1932 from the eastern part of Saint-Laurent, now a district of Épinals, and the northernmost part of the municipality of Arches. There is still no historic village center and no church in the village.
Population development
The steady increase in population is mainly due to the influx of townspeople from nearby Épinal .
