Saint-Piat is a French commune with 1,050 inhabitants (at January 1, 2017) in the department of Eure-et-Loir in the region Center-Val de Loire .
geography
Saint-Piat consists of the town center and the two hamlets Grogneul and Changé . It is located 13 kilometers northeast of Chartres between Mévoisins in the northeast and Chartainvilliers in the southwest. The Eure flows through the municipality.
history
In the hamlet of Changé there are dolmens , whose function was examined in more detail during excavations from 1983 to 2000. It is a burial site from the Neolithic Age . The area was already populated at that time.
The parish was named after a local saint (piatus) who was beheaded in the 5th century. In the 18th century the municipality was called Saint-Piat sur Eure because the Eure flows through the town center. During the French Revolution (1789–1799) it was renamed Martel-les-Vaux because religious place names were not desired. In 1793, Saint-Piat received the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government.
In 1849 Saint-Piat had a train station on the Paris -Chartres line. In 1863 the vineyards were attacked by phylloxera , which meant the end of viticulture in Saint-Piat.

The first kiln at the Lambert brickworks was put into operation in 1859. The brick factory was near a clay and sand pit and the train station. A Hoffmann ring furnace was installed between 1880 and 1910 and is well preserved to this day. The brick factory was run by the same family until the last bricklayer James Lambert died in 1997.
