Geography

[edit]

The commune is positioned on the left bank of theMoselle, directly upstream of its confluence with the littleAvière, and across the Moselle from the cantonal capital,Châtel-sur-Moselle. It is 13 kilometres (8 mi) downstream fromÉpinal.

The commune contains theCanal de l'Est (also called the canal des Vosges), notable for including 93 locks in the 123 kilometres over which it twists and turns and rises and falls between the Moselle near toNancy, and the riverSaône: while crossing the Nomexy commune, the canal runs directly beside the Moselle. The canal remains popular with leisure and recreational users, though the transport of merchandise for which it was constructed during the nineteenth century has been taken over by theRoute Nationale RN57 which during the closing years of the twentieth century was upgraded to quasi-autoroute quality from Nancy in the north toRemiremont en route to theBussang Pass andMulhouse to the south-east. The road skirts the village of Nomexy on its western side: the village has not one but two access point to the road, shared by means of a bridge across the Moselle withChâtel-sur-Moselle.

The northern part of the commune comprises a 70 hectare Industrial Zone which is an employment magnet for the surrounding area, and includes a number of small and artisanal businesses as well as larger firms including the substantial INNOTHERA textiles and fibres business. There is also a considerable level of commuting to one or other of the many industrial zones on the edges of the small towns that are strung along the Moselle in theÉpinal region. Nevertheless, between 1968 and 2006 the population of Nomexy declined by more than 20%, which is part of a larger pattern of migration from the villages to the cities that characterised France as industrialisation accelerated during the second half of the twentieth century.

Although the eastern part of the commune, on the river bank, is relatively flat, on its western and southern sides the wooded hills rise up to 90 meters above the level of the river. Overall roughly 40% of the commune's territory is wooded, while nearer the river the land is either built up or used for agriculture.

Neighbouring communes arePortieux to the north,Châtel-sur-Moselle in the east,Vaxoncourt to the south-east,Igney in the south,Frizon to the south-west andVincey in the West.

History

[edit]

There is a record of thewatermill on theAvière River having already existed in 1263 when it belonged to the Priory of Aubiey. In the nineteenth century the mill was purchased by a member of the Mathurin family: this was a family of millers that had come from theVendée, probably driven east by the brutal repression which followed afailed counter-revolution in the 1790s. The mill is now part of a modernflour mill, still owned by the family that acquired it more than a century ago.

TheAbbé Constant Olivier, historian and priest, published a history of Nomexy entitled"Nomexy et le prieuré d'Aubiey" in 1900.
