history
The origin of the settlement was a mill mentioned in the 12th century of the Lure monastery on the Clairegoutte. Magny-Jobert is mentioned in a document in 1547 under the name Maigny Jobert , 1554 as Maingny Jobert and 1600 as Magny Jaber . The current spelling has been documented since 1755. The place name is probably derived from the Germanic personal name Galbert , while Magny goes back to the Latin word mansio (apartment, hostel). In the Middle Ages, Magny-Jobert belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in it to the area of the Bailliage d'Amont . Together with Franche-Comté , the place finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Today Magny-Jobert is a member of the community association Communauté de communes du Pays de Lure, which comprises 22 villages . Magny-Jobert does not have its own church, it belongs to the Lyoffans parish.

With 110 inhabitants (January 1, 2017) Magny-Jobert is one of the smallest municipalities in the Haute-Saône department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (192 people were still counted in 1886), only relatively small fluctuations have been recorded since the beginning of the 1950s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Magny-Jobert is still today a predominantly agricultural (arable, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry village. Outside of the primary sector there are few jobs in town. Some workers are therefore commuters who work in the larger towns in the area and in the Belfort-Montbéliard agglomeration.
The village is well developed in terms of traffic. It is located near the D438 departmental road, which leads from Lure to Montbéliard and which has been developed into a four-lane expressway in this area. Further road connections exist with Lyoffans, Andornay and Frédéric-Fontaine.
