history

The French name first appears in 1304 as Lentrey . Between 1594 and 1608 ten residents were executed for witchcraft. Leintrey was part of the Vogtei (Bailliage) Blâmont and thus historically belonged to the Duchy of Lorraine , which fell to France in 1766. The community was badly destroyed by troops passing through during the Thirty Years' War in 1636 . Only 5 houses remained. Until the French Revolution , the community was then in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . From 1793 to 1801 Leintrey was assigned to the Blâmont district and the capital of the canton of Leintrey. From 1801 to 2015, the municipality was in the canton of Blâmont and has been part of the canton of Baccarat ever since. Leintrey has been part of the Lunéville arrondissement since 1801. Until 1871, the community was in the old Meurt (h) e. From 1871 to 1918 it belonged to Alsace-Lorraine and was on the border with France . Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department . There was destruction in the two world wars. In 1918 there were only two whole houses left in Leintrey . The place was not rebuilt until 1925.
