history

The present parish is first mentioned in a document in 1293 under the name Rullons . In 1604, Marguerite François was burned as a witch. Reillon was part of the Vogtei (Bailliage) Blâmont and thus historically belonged to the Duchy of Lorraine , which fell to France in 1766. Until the French Revolution , the community was then in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . From 1793 to 1801 Reillon was assigned to the district of Blâmont and the canton of Leintrey. From 1801 to 2015, the municipality was in the canton of Blâmont and has been part of the canton of Baccarat ever since. Reillon has been part of the Lunéville arrondissement since 1801. Until 1871, the community was in the old Meurt (h) e. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department. During the First World War, the parish was completely destroyed except for the Calvary near the church.
