Until the French Revolution , the community was then in the Grand-gouvernement de Lorraine-et-Barrois . From 1793 to 1801 the community was assigned to the Lunéville district. Vallois was part of the canton of Gerbéviller from 1793 to 2015 and has been within the canton of Lunéville-2 since 2015. Since 1801, Vallois has also been assigned to the Arrondissement of Lunéville. Until 1871, the community was in the old Meurt (h) e. Since then it has been part of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department.
