## Economy[edit]

Hayange is located in the iron manufacturing region of Lorraine; within Hayange is the former Sogerail plant, a railway rail manufacturer, dating to 1892 as Usine Saint Jacques.

## History[edit]

Archaeological evidence indicates that iron ore was already mined here in Roman times. Human settlement in the area during the Merovingian period is confirmed by a Merovingian cemetery discovered by iron miners in the Hamévillers Valley, on the edge of Hayange and along the line of a Roman road believed to have linked Rheims with Metz.

During the early Medieval period the town was known as "Heiyingen Villa", a name indicating a settlement within a forested area. The first mention of the town in an official record dates from 821, during the reign of Louis the Pious, Western Emperor and King of the Franks, one of the sons of Charlemagne.

In 1941 during Nazi occupation, Reichswerke Hermann Göring founded Hüttenverwaltung Westmark GmbH to utilise the towns iron mine for manufacturing munitions, they used ordnance code ljy.[2] Hayange was liberated by the American 357th Infantry (90th Division) after a short battle with the German 559th Grenadier Division on 10 September 1944.[3]
