history

The place name Neuvy is of Gallo-Roman origin, novus vicus , and means 'new settlement'. The following toponyms are known: in accio Noviacense (950), Neuvic (1373), Novusvicus (1392) and more recently Neuvy-lès-Moulins . Around 1850 a hoard of Roman silver coins with the portrait of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Probus was excavated in Neuvy .

In the Middle Ages , Neuvy was a parish under the diocese of Bourges and the Parlement de Paris . Around 1760 the place had 96 taxable households ( Feux fiscaux ).

During the occupation of France by the Wehrmacht in World War II , Neuvy was - unlike the neighboring town of Moulins - initially in the unoccupied zone , as the Allier river was part of the demarcation line . After 1942 Neuvy was nevertheless occupied by the Germans. Both places were liberated on September 6, 1944.
