history

The name of today's municipality was first mentioned in a document in 1179 in the name Locus de Sanzeio . In 1625 a woman from the village was burned as a witch. And in the turmoil of the Thirty Years War the community was totally devastated and the majority of the inhabitants died from acts of war and starvation. The few survivors sought refuge in the city of Toul. In the Middle Ages the community belonged to the territory of the Duchy of Lorraine . More precisely to the office ( Bailliage ) Gommercy. With this rule, Sanzey fell to France in 1766. Until the French Revolution , the community was in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . From 1793 to 1801 the municipality was assigned to the district of Toul and part of the canton of Royaumeix, then from 1801 to 2015 part of the canton of Toul-Nord.
