history

The present-day community is first mentioned in 1152 under the Latin name Ogeriivillare cum ecclesia in a document from Senones Abbey. The name Ogieviler appears in a collection of documents in 1301 . A castle was built in the 12th century at the latest. Various feudal lords administered the place from this castle. The place and the castle were taken in 1587 by German horsemen under the command of the Duke de Bouillon. Cardinal Richelieu ordered the dismantling of all military fortifications. In 1635 the castle and town were badly devastated in the Thirty Years' War . Ogéviller 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 . During the troubled times of the French Revolution, the remains of the castle were looted and the stones were used for private buildings. Destruction again occurred in the two world wars. From 1793 to 1801 the municipality was assigned to the Blâmont district. From 1793 to 1801 Ogéviller was the capital of a canton. From 1801 to 2015, the municipality was incorporated into the canton of Blâmont. Since 1801 it has been assigned to the Lunéville arrondissement. The community was in the old Meurte department until 1871. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department . Earlier name variants for Ogéviller were Juviller and Ogeviller in the 19th century .
