The suburban development of Lésigny was initiated in 1968 by American real estate developerWilliam Levitt. Two housing projects were established by Levitt, completely separated from the little village of Lésigny:Le Parc de Lésigny (600 detached houses) andL'Orée de Lésigny (276 semi-detached houses). ItsAmerican character was augmented by the presence of a private swimming pool and tennis court.[5] Due to this development, the population of the commune sharply increased from 362 in 1968 to 6,572 in 1975.[4]
