History
History
The commune of Les Lilas ('the lilacs') was created under the Second Empire on 24 July 1867 amid Haussmann's renovation of Paris by detaching a part of the territory of Romainville and merging it with a part of the territory of Pantin and a part of the territory of Bagnolet. Les Lilas owes its name to the flower gardens that covered the hill on which the commune was established. The Hôtel de Ville was completed in 1884.
