Toponymy

The place appears for the first time in 1155 as Ecclesia Sancti-Eusebii (German: Church of Saint Eusebius). The lords of Montcony founded a chapel dedicated to Saint Eusebius of Vercelli . The place name developed from the name of the saint via Saint Eusèbe sur Seille , Saint-Euruges to the current form.

history

Until 1710, the parish of Saint-Usuge included today's parishes of Saint-Usuge, Montcony and Vincelles . During the French Revolution the place was called Chalon sur Seille . The Roman road from Louhans to Bellevesvre ran through Saint-Usuge. In Charangeroux , two moths are visible close together , one rectangular and one round. The current church building dates from the 14th century and consists of the typical brick walls with a bell tower in the style of Franche-Comté . Various fiefs existed in what is now the municipality , in 1461 Barand came into the possession of Jaques Bouton and remained in the family's possession until 1556. Charangeroux was owned by the de Tholongeon family , in 1593 it came into the possession of Herard Bouton von Chamilly , in whose family it remained until the beginning of the 18th century. In the 18th century there was a brickworks in Saint-Usuge , the municipality was the canton capital from 1790 to 1802. In 1856 there were three grain and oil mills on the Seille , in 1860 the Départementstraße RD 13 was built. At the beginning of the 20th century there were brick factories in Thiollet and Barand , while blacksmiths, clog makers and wine merchants were active in the town center. In 1988 there were still 89 farms in the municipality. The hamlets of Barand , Ferrière and Varennes are located on the east side of the Seille and were famous for their grain of excellent quality. The farmers drove up to 20 kilometers to get ash to dry and fertilize their soil.

heraldry

Saint-Usuge uses a coat of arms that evidently originated in modern times. In field 1 there is a red-tongued dog's head, probably as a reference to the dog breed Epagneul de Saint-Usuge , in field 2 a silver church tower, as it is typical for Franche-Comté and also adorns the church of the community. Fields 3 and 4 fill elements as they appear in the coat of arms of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region , both in terms of the fields and the border. It is remarkable, however, that not the entire coat of arms was integrated, but only the lower part of the Burgundy coat of arms in the lower part of the municipal coat of arms .
