history

Longjumeau is one of the oldest places in the valley of Yvette on the road from Paris to Orléans . 4th century sarcophagi were found on the site where the hospital now stands.
The parish has been attested since the 13th century.
Longjumeau and Chilly-Mazarin had the same masters, beginning with the Counts of Dreux . King Louis IX gave both places to the dukes of Brittany . Later they were owned by the Anjou family .
On March 23, 1568 the Peace of Longjumeau between Catholics and Protestants was signed to end the Second Huguenot War .
In 1596 Martin Ruzé , treasurer of King Henry IV. Came into the possession of the place. His great-grandson Armand-Charles de La Porte married Hortense Mancini , a niece of Mazarin , in 1661 . Her granddaughter married the Prince of Monaco from the House of Grimaldi in 1777 , who was then the last lord of Longjumeau.
Longjumeau was the first post office between Paris and Orléans; 30 to 40 accommodations could accommodate travelers.

From June to August 1911, Lenin and other Bolsheviks , including Lev Borisovich Kamenev and Grigory Yevsejewitsch Zinoviev , gave lectures on the theory and practice of socialism in an abandoned locksmith's workshop in Longjumeau. 18 cadres of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party were sent to these training courses, including Grigory Konstantinovich Ordzhonikidze . The three-month course was later referred to in the Soviet Union as the "Lenin Party School" and the "Lenin Summer School".

The Gothic church of Saint-Martin (from 1250) has been a monument historique since 1910 .
The Bridge of the Knights Templar (13th century) is one of the oldest preserved bridges in the Île-de-France and has also been a monument historique since 1930.

The 19th century Opéra comique under the title The Postillon of Lonjumeau by Adolphe Adam (Paris 1836) made the name of the city known outside of France as well.

Lenin lived here in May 1911 in a room on the first floor of a house on what was then Grande-Rue (now Rue du Président Mitterrand ).
Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet was Mayor of Longjumeau from 2008 to 2013.
