geography

The municipality is located on the plateau of the Picard plateau around eight kilometers east-northeast of Crèvecœur-le-Grand on the D11 departmental road, which branches off from the D930 (formerly Route nationale 30 ) that bounds the municipality to the south . The municipality is bordered to the east by a section of the Chaussée Brunehaut system , which runs parallel to the A16 autoroute (which is completely outside the municipality) and probably follows the Roman road from Amiens to Beauvais .

Toponymy and History

The community name is derived from a Germanic personal name (Crocco).

The place was originally connected to the neighboring Cormeilles . At the end of the 12th century it was under the rule of Louis von Blois , who in 1202 transferred it to the Cistercian Abbey of Froidmont . In 1244 the Breteuil Abbey bought part of the land.
