Nonhigny belonged to the Bailiwick of Lunéville and thus to the Duchy of Lorraine , which fell to France in 1766. Until the French Revolution , the community was then in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . There was destruction in the two world wars. From 1793 to 1801 the municipality was assigned to the Blâmont district. Nonhigny changed assignments to arrondissements and cantons several times. From 1793 to 1801 it was part of the canton of Cirey. It was then part of the canton of Lorquin from 1801 to 1821 and then incorporated into the canton of Blâmont until 2015. Since then it has been part of the canton of Baccarat. From 1801 to 1821 Nonhigny was assigned to the Arrondissement of Sarrebourg and has since been assigned to the Arrondissement of Lunéville. Until 1871, the community was in the old Meurt (h) e. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department .
