history

A first French form appears in a document as La Mars in 1296. Lamath 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. Since 1801 Lamath has been assigned to the Arrondissement of Lunéville. Until 1871, the community was in the old Meurthe department . Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department.
