history

During the Ancien Régime , Parey-sous-Montfort was part of the Bailiwick of Mirecourt . The suffix “-sous-Montfort” ( -unter [the] Montfort ) indicates an early connection to the medieval hilltop castle Montfort in La Neuveville-sous-Montfort, seven kilometers south-east . The church of St. Martin belonged to the deanery of Porsas in the diocese of Toul. The priory next to the church was the seat of a hospice association of the Premonstratensians from 1668, dependent on the Molesme Abbey . The priory was founded in 1662 by Joachim Vaultrin .

Population development

In 1831 there were still 437 inhabitants in the municipality. The emigration due to the mechanization of agriculture and the two world wars caused the population to drop noticeably.
