History

There is evidence of a settlement at Moyement during the Gallo-Roman period, when it was positioned along the Roman road, road linking Strasbourg with Langres. In 1114 it gets a mention in a surviving record as the Lordship of Moyemont, controlled by the Chapter of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, Saint-Dié. By 1751 Moyemont was listed under the bailiwick of Lunéville and in 1790 it was within the district of Épinal under the canton of Domèvre-sur-Avière. The present administrative relationships are, in most respect, based on the administrative structures created across France in the wake of the French Revolution.
