geography

The Orne River runs through the municipality and in parts forms the southern municipal boundary. Neighboring municipalities are Mouaville in the north, Thumeréville in the northeast, Jeandelize in the east, Puxe in the southeast and Saint-Jean-lès-Buzy (in the Meuse department) in the southwest and west. The parish consists of the village of Olley and the hamlet of Neuvron. To the east of the hamlet is the pond Étang de Neuvron on the municipal boundary with Jeandelize.

history

Finds from the Gallo-Roman period prove an early settlement. A castle and a castle from the Middle Ages are occupied, but have disappeared. A place name Le Donjon on the northern municipal boundary is a reference to this fortification. For centuries, the de Lenoncourt family ruled the community. Olley was historically part of the Duchy of Bar , which fell to France in 1766. Until the French Revolution , the community was then in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . The municipality was in the old Moselle department until 1871, since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department .
