geography

The small community of Gelvécourt-et-Adompt consists of the two hamlets of Adompt and Gelvécourt (founded between 1790 and 1794), 500 meters apart, and is located about halfway between Épinal and Vittel in the south of the historic Lorraine region . The small town of Mirecourt is 13 kilometers from Gelvécourt-et-Adompt.

The approximately twelve kilometer long Illon , a narrow tributary of the Madon, flows between the two eponymous districts . The Illon Valley, 400 meters wide in the local area, turns from the south to the northwest to the nearby confluence with the Madon and is flanked by gently sloping slopes that lead east and southwest of the Illon to plateaus up to 380 meters high. The largest part of the almost four km² large municipal area consists of agricultural land. Only in the north and south does the municipality have shares in forest areas, which together cover around 50 hectares.

Neighboring municipalities of Gelvécourt-et-Adompt are Dompaire in the northeast, Les Ableuvenettes in the southeast, Légéville-et-Bonfays in the southwest and Begnécourt in the northwest.

history

In 1305, the ban of Adompt appears for the first time in a document , which included Adompt, Gelvécourt and Bégnécourt. Adompt was part of the Bailiwick in Darney . The parish church in Adompt dates from the 12th century. It is still responsible for the surrounding communities of Les Ableuvenettes, Begnécourt and Légéville-et-Bonfays, which do not have their own churches. Gelvécourt belonged to the margraviate of Ville-sur-Illon from 1703 until the French Revolution .
