History of the town of Lille
Lille, a distinguished French commune, is situated in the Nord department, part of the historic Nord-Pas-de-Calais region. Originating from the Gallo-Roman term “Isula” and the Latin “insula,” meaning island, Lille’s rich history traces back to 640 AD. It emerged prominently in historical records around the 11th century. The formation of the county of Flanders by Baudouin I in 866 marked Lille as one of its capitals. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Lille underwent significant industrial and economic transformations, enhancing its connectivity with the major capitals of Northern Europe, including a strategic linkage with Reims. These connections facilitated its growth and integration into the broader European economic landscape.
