history

A path through La Sau (l) x led through today's municipality , which has existed at least since the Gallo-Roman period. Today's community is first mentioned in 1154 as Hassay in a document from Belchamp Abbey. Essey-la-Côte historically belonged to the Vogtei (Bailliage) Lunéville and thus to the Duchy of Lorraine , which fell to France in 1766. Until the French Revolution , the community was then in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . From 1793 to 1801 the community was assigned to the Lunéville district. Essey-la-Côte was part of the canton of Gerbéviller from 1793 to 2015 and has been within the canton of Lunéville-2 since 2015. Since 1801 Essey-la-Côte has also been assigned to the Arrondissement of Lunéville. Until 1871, the community was in the old Meurt (h) e. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department.
