history

The municipality of Saint-Ouen-lès-Parey was created by royal decree of March 5, 1833 from the previously independent municipalities of Saint-Ouen and Parey, which at that time had almost grown together. Early spellings of Saint-Ouen were Sancta Oda, Saint-Ouïn, Saint-Ouain and Saint-Ouyn . Lords of Saint-Ouen were the Espine, Mathey, Châtelet, Torneille, Lavaux, d'Orbilly and Bresson families in the 200 years before the revolution .

The parish of the Church of St. Ode and Holy Trinity in Saint-Ouen was merged with the parish of the Church of Our Lady in Parey in the 12th century .

The Mairie (town hall) was built in 1800, the boys 'and girls' schools were built in 1835.

Many documents about the history of the community were destroyed in a fire in the town hall in the middle of the 20th century.
