geography
Nommay is located at 333 m above sea level, about five kilometers northeast of the city of Montbéliard (as the crow flies). The village extends in the north-eastern part of the Montbéliard basin, on the western edge of the wide valley of the Savoureuse , at the foot of the heights of the Grands Bois.
The area of the 3.19 km² municipal area includes a section of the gently undulating landscape in the area of the Burgundian Gate (Trouée de Belfort). The eastern part of the area is taken up by the approximately 1.5 km wide valley plain of the Savoureuse, which averages 325 m. The Savoureuse flows through this valley floor with several turns to the south to the Allan . Various former sand and gravel pits are now filled with water and serve as the local recreation area of Montbéliard. A riparian forest zone runs along the river; otherwise the plain is used for agriculture. To the west, the community area extends over an approximately 20 m high slope to the adjoining heights of Nommay, which are subdivided by a dry valley opening near the village . In the far west, Nommay has a share in the forest area of the Grands Bois . The highest point in the community is reached here at 401 m.
Neighboring municipalities of Nommay are Châtenois-les-Forges and Trévenans in the north, Dambenois and Brognard in the east, Vieux-Charmont in the south and Grand-Charmont in the west.
history
The first written mention of Nommay took place in 1147 under the name Novanna . The place name goes back to the words neuf (new) and meix (residence). Since the 14th century, the lordship of the village belonged to the noble Grammont family, who had their castle on the hill to the west of the village (no remains are visible today) and were under the sovereignty of the Counts of Montbéliard. The Reformation was introduced in 1541 . Nommay never had its own church, it was always parish according to Dambenois. With the annexation of the county of Württemberg-Mömpelgard (Montbéliard) , the village finally came into French hands in 1793. Iron ore was mined at Nommay from the 17th to the 19th century. With the opening of the tram from Montbéliard to Belfort in 1913, Nommay was connected to the public transport network. However, operations on the line were given up again in 1940. Today Nommay is part of the Pays de Montbéliard Agglomération municipal association .

With 1638 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017) Nommay is one of the smaller communities in the Doubs department. After the population had only grown slowly in the first half of the 20th century, a marked increase in population began around 1955. The population has quadrupled within around 20 years. With around 1650 inhabitants, the previous high was reached at the beginning of the 1980s. The economic crisis and the restructuring of the industry in the Pays de Montbéliard from 1985 to 1990 resulted in many workers and families moving away. As a result, a significant population decline of almost 10% was recorded. An upward trend has only been observed in recent years. Today the settlement area of Nommay has grown together almost seamlessly with that of Vieux-Charmont .
Economy and Infrastructure
In the course of the 20th century, Nommay developed into an industrial community and since around 1960 the residential suburb of Montbéliard. Today, various small and medium-sized businesses are based in the municipality, mainly in the fields of mechanics, transport, civil engineering, metal and wood processing. There are also numerous retail shops for daily needs. Many workers are also commuters who work in the other municipalities of the Montbéliard agglomeration.
The village is well developed in terms of traffic. It is on the main road from Montbéliard to Belfort. The closest connection to the A36 motorway is around two kilometers away. Further road connections exist with Grand-Charmont and Dambenois. Nommay is connected to the cities of Montbéliard and Belfort by a bus line.
