history
Like all places in the area, Rambucourt suffered from conflicts in the Middle Ages. The worst devastation was caused by the Hundred Years War and the Thirty Years War . The name of the municipality was first mentioned in a document in 1060 under the name Rabucurt . In the Middle Ages, today's municipality was in the Barrois non mouvant in the Duchy of Lorraine and first belonged to the Bailliage Pont-à-Mousson, then to the Bailliage Saint-Mihiel. From 1766 until the French Revolution , the community was in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . Rambucourt belonged to the District of Saint-Mihiel from 1793 to 1801 and was part of the Canton of Bouconville. The municipality has been in the canton of Saint-Mihiel since 1801 and is assigned to the Arrondissement of Commercy. During the First World War, the place was completely destroyed.
Population development
The population development is typical for a French rural community. The development between 1793 and 1851 is normal with strong growth. Then the rural exodus began in the community. During the First World War, the place was completely destroyed. Therefore, in November 1918, not a single one of the former 327 residents lived in the community, as all 45 houses had been destroyed. Around 200 people returned in the following years. From 1931 the emigration continued until the low point in 1999. From the high point in 1836 to 1999 the decrease was 76.5 percent. There was strong growth between 1999 and 2011 (1999–2011: +49.6 percent).

traffic
The community is on the D958. This is the most important regional transport connection for the municipality, which is far from the motorways.
The Lérouville – Metz railway runs through the municipality. But since the lifting of all stops between Lérouville and Onville, and thus also the Rambucourt-Bouconville stop, the place is far from rail connections. Closest train stations are Lérouville and Commercy.
