history
In Roman times, the place was on an army road that led from Paris to Le Havre . Eaubonne was first mentioned in a decree by King Dagobert I in 635. The community was owned by the Abbey of Saint-Denis for a long time before the lords of Montmorency received it in the 11th century. In the 17th century, the lords of Condés received ownership rights. In the 18th century, Joseph-Florent Le Normand de Mézières received the place and expanded it. In the 19th century the place counted 15 castles and palaces. With the construction of the railway in the middle of the 19th century, rapid urbanization began.
