history

In the 10th century the place appears for the first time as a Totainvilla in a document. The village was the center of a ban , whose high and low jurisdiction was divided between the local authority and the Abbey of Remiremont .

The Tenth went to two-thirds of the chapter Remiremont and one third to the pastor. The parish belonged to the deanery Poussay in the diocese of Toul .

The town hall and school building ( la mairie-école ) was built in 1831.
