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 .
