History
History
The name Épinay derives from its Gallo-Roman name Spinogelum meaning the 'place of thorns and/or gorse'. The Hôtel de Ville was completed in 1760. Bernard-Germain-Étienne de La Ville-sur-Illon, comte de Lacépède (1756–1825), naturalist, died in Épinay-sur-Seine. On 7 August 1850, a part of the territory of Épinay-sur-Seine was detached and merged with a part of the territory of Deuil-la-Barre, a part of the territory of Saint-Gratien, and a part of the territory of Soisy-sous-Montmorency to create the commune of Enghien-les-Bains. Francis, Duke of Cádiz (13 May 1822 – 17 April 1902), king consort of Spain, took up residence at the château of Épinay-sur-Seine in 1881 until his death in 1902. The chateau now serves as Épinay-sur-Seine's city hall. From 1902 it was home to the Epinay Studios.
