history
The place, in the area of which flint tools and several Gallo-Roman remains were found, is first mentioned in 1066 as Ruminetum . It was under the rule of Boves in the Middle Ages and was subject to tithing to the chapter of Picquigny , the Hôtel-Dieu of Amiens and the chapter of the Cathedral of Amiens . In 1470 Rumigny was destroyed by Burgundian troops. The castle was destroyed under Henri IV . In the 18th century a new castle was built, which is still owned by the Saint-Maur family. During the industrial revolution in the late 18th and 19th centuries, the population of the community doubled; Brickworks and a mechanical factory were built. During the Franco-Prussian War , fighting took place here in the autumn of 1870 before Amiens was captured. During World War II Rumigny was evacuated in June 1940 and almost the entire community center was destroyed in the fighting.
