history
Enines
The name of the village Enines was also written as Anines, Ayninne, Hennines or Ennines in the past.
The area was inhabited as early as the Neolithic Age. In the 19th century, a necropolis with numerous graves was discovered here. In the Middle Ages Enines belonged to the mayor of Jandrain and was divided into one to three fiefdoms . It was under the control of Fosses Abbey. At the end of the 17th century it was badly affected by the wars of Louis XIV .
Enines was and is characterized by agriculture. Until 1900 there was a mill on the highest hill in the area. In the middle of the 19th to the end of the 20th century, the residents used the quality of the clay in the ground to make roof and wall tiles.
Folx-les-Caves
Its name Folx-les-Caves comes from the Latin of fossa (trench) or fauces (throat, abyss) and refers to the extensive underground cave passages in the area. In the past it was also written as Foul, Fool, Folz, Foulx or Fooz and was given nicknames such as Foul en Brabant, Fooz de Jauche or Folz-les-Caves for differentiation.
The village was already settled by the Franks ; a Franconian cemetery was found here. Later it belonged to the mayorry of Geest-Gérompont. In the 13th century, a knight family with the name of the place, Foul, lived here. The Abbey of Villers bought land in the village and acquired the patronage of the local church. The most important estate belonged to the chapter of Saint-Denis in Liège. The landlord von Jauche was also the Chapter's advocate. He shared the judiciary with the Duke of Brabant . In 1648 Guillaume de Cottereau, Baron von Jauche, bought the duke's share. During the Battle of Ramillies in 1706, the village was badly damaged by the French artillery.
Folx-les-Caves is today mainly agricultural. In the 19th and 20th centuries, marl was extracted here and hemp was ground; there were sand pits and quarries, a brewery and a tannery.
Jandrain-Jandrenouille
Jandrain-Jandrenouille is the largest town in the municipality in terms of area. Its name has changed several times over the centuries. The Latinized form of gundrin, gundrinium, appeared for the first time in 855 . Other variants are Jandren, Jandrine, Jangdraine and Jaindrain. Jandrenouille is a diminutive of Jandrain; it was also written as Jandrinul, Jandernoul or Jandrignoule. The former hamlet of Jauche-la-Marne, of which nothing but a farm and a mill are left, was once called Jauche-le-Male (the bad manure), Jauche-la-Mavayse or Jauche-le-Maule, as it is still today is called in Walloon .
Shafts for excavating flint indicate that the area was already inhabited in the Neolithic . In 855 the Frankish Emperor Lothar I gave his vassal Ebroin some goods from the village of Gundrin. Jandrain and Jandrenouille later became the property of the Duke of Brabant . In Jandrain the Baron von Jauche also had certain rights. Jandrain became the mayor's office on which Jandrenouille, Marilles, Nodrenge and Enines also depended. The high interest income in the 13th century indicates Jandrain's prosperity at that time.
In 1334 Jandrain suffered from the consequences of the war between Brabant and Liège. The lord of Houffalize devastated it in 1402. At the end of the 15th century it was completely destroyed. Between 1689 and 1695, the wars of Louis XIV wreaked havoc. Jandrenouille was affected by this in 1693.
Since Guillaume de Cottereau, Baron von Jauche, bought the rights of the Dukes of Brabant to Jandrain and Jandrenouille in 1650, the two villages had a common fate. On July 14, 1812, they were officially merged.
Manure
Jauche takes its name from the river that flows through it. This has changed over the years. Older names are Gyaz, Jace, Jeace and Jauce. Sometimes it was called Jauche-le-Grand to distinguish it from the villages of Jauchelette and Petit-Jauche and the hamlet of Jauche-la-Marne belonging to Jandrain.
Up until the time of the Franks, there was a necropolis in the area of Jauche . Objects from the Stone , Bronze and Iron Ages were found here.
Around 1100 Jauche became a barony . Four different families ruled here. The de Jauche family had the first feudal castle built, which was destroyed in 1183 by the Duke of Brabant. The de Cottereau family followed in 1517 , who built a renaissance castle whose entrance pavilion has been preserved to this day. In 1756 the land fell to the de Berlaymont de la Chapelle et du Saint-Empire family and finally to the Van der Meer family in 1792 . In addition to the barony, there were three other small fiefs in the area of Jauche: Pinchart, Malherbe and Vaulx. Although Jauche was the seat of a mayor's office, Mont-à-Jauche was under that of Jandrain until the beginning of the 16th century.
After the annexation to France in 1795, Jauche became the capital of a canton in the Dyle Department, which included all the villages of today's Orp-Jauche municipality. In 1801 this was dissolved again and replaced by the canton of Jodoigne.
Until the beginning of the 19th century, manure was mainly agricultural. The industrial development that then began was favored by the construction of the Tamines-Landen railway in 1865. The economic activity was marked by ironwork workshops , a dairy, which in 1967 merged with Danone, a 1905 to 1931 operated gas factory and a workshop for metal structures. Today there is a factory in Jauche for the production of foie gras (foie gras) and Magret de canard (duck breast) as well as another one for electrical appliances.
Marilles-Nodrenge

The following variants also exist for the place name Marilles: Maruiles, Mariles, Marioles and Marieles. It is derived from marais , the French word for moor. The name of the hamlet Nodrenge ( Dutch: Norderinghen) belonging to Marilles is possibly of Germanic origin. It was also written as Nordrenge, Nuadrenge, or Nordreinghe.
Marilles and Nodrenge have been inhabited since at least the Neolithic . Coins and a brick oven from Gallo-Roman times and a Merovingian cemetery have been found here.
At the beginning of the 12th century Marilles belonged to the Duchy of Brabant , Nodrenge to the chapter of Saint-Lambert in Liège, whose administrators were the barons of Jauche. In 1204, when Nodrenge was also subject to the Dukes of Brabant, Heinrich I granted Marilles and Nodrenge a tax rebate. At the end of the 13th century, Marilles was administered by the mayor of Jandrain.
At the end of the 15th century, Marilles was devastated by Maximilian I and his church was set on fire. In 1545 a plague epidemic reduced the population. This, as well as unrest and conflicts, made the residents leave the village in 1582. Marilles suffered a similar fate as under Maximilian I in 1635 by the Franco-Dutch army and in 1649 by the Lorraine . In 1650 Marilles and Nodrenge were merged and since then have had the same fiefdoms, the Drouhot and Blondeel-Drouhot families. After the annexation to France in 1795, the merger was confirmed.
The only economic source in Marilles-Nodrenge was and is agriculture.
Noduwez-Libertange
Noduwez ( Walloon Nodwé) was also written Nodoweiss, Nodues, Noduez, Noduvez, Nodeweez or Nodewez. The name can be derived from nowa or nowe (new) and wez (tower), and is therefore, without a doubt, of Slavic origin, e.g. B. Czech věž, Polish wieża (Aleks Donskij).
The name can be derived from noa or noe (grassland, pasture) and wez (ford). The hamlet of Libertange, also mentioned as Libretinges, Libertainnes, Libertenge and Libertignie, is etymologically the house of Libert .
The area has been inhabited since the Neolithic . In the 12th century Noduwez and Libertange belonged to the mayorry of Orp-le-Grand and were under the control of the Duke of Brabant. At the beginning of the 13th century this granted the residents tax breaks.
Several wars raged in Noduwez. It was devastated on the eve of Philip the Good's victory at Montenaken in 1466, by the Franco-Dutch army in 1635 and in the wars of Louis XIV at the end of the 17th century. In addition, the plague raged here in 1597.
The village was and is characterized by agriculture. In the 19th century to 1910, domestic weaving was also established here.
Orp-le-Grand
Orp, which later became the municipality of Orp-le-Grand, is divided into the village of Orp-le-Grand and the hamlets of Orp-le-Petit and Maret. Older names for Orp were Hadorp, Adorp, Auendorp, Adorp, Hardorp, Aorb or Aorp. The name was derived from the Flemish expression ald-dorp or oud-dorp for "old village". The village and the hamlet were distinguished by a descriptive name tag as Orp-le-Grand (Greater Orp) and Orp-le-Petit (Little Orp). The name of the hamlet Maret is possibly derived from the Latin marescum (moor). Over the centuries, the following variants also appeared: Mareys, Mares, Maresch, Marez, Marex and Maretz.
The prehistoric finds in the area of Orp date back to the Upper Palaeolithic : A camp site from Magdalenian (around 12,000 BC) was excavated.
During the time of the Franks, in the 7th century, St. Adele , a noblewoman from the Hespengau who had entered the order in Nivelles , was sent to Orp. She built a monastery and a church here in Orp-le-Grand. Thither went Alpaida , Friedel woman Pippin the Middle and mother of Charles Martel returned in old age.
Orp was subordinate to the dukes of Brabant . In 1204, Henry I released the town from its high taxes. Around 1300 Orp-le-Grand became a mayor's office, which also included Orp-le-Petit, Maret, Noduwez, Libertange, Lincent, Linsmeau, Hampteau (Op-Heylissem) and Pellaines. In 1372 Orp finally got even more freedom and became Franke ville d'Orp (free city of Orp).
Orp was not spared from wars and diseases either. In 1356 it was devastated in a war between the Count of Namur and the Bishop of Liège against the Duke of Brabant. In 1485 it was looted. In 1577 the plague broke out. In 1637 it was set on fire. At the end of the 17th century, the troops of Louis XIV also raged in Orp . In the 18th century, the robber gang of the Vinckaerts raged here until they were hanged in 1754.
In 1795 Orp-le-Grand, Orp-le-Petit and Maret merged to form Orp-le-Grand. Its residents offered food and shelter to Charles Rogier and his Liège revolutionaries in 1830 when they were en route to Brussels. In return, they received a flag in the colors of the Liège province, which is still kept in the council chamber today.
Orp-le-Grand was dominated by agriculture until the middle of the 19th century. With the opening of the railway line between Landen and Tamines in 1865, industry and trade flourished in the town. A sugar factory, a cement works, a brick factory, foundries and workshops for the construction of agricultural machinery as well as smaller mechanical workshops were created. After the Second World War , almost all factories closed and agriculture became dominant again.
