History

The origin of the name "Limey" is said to come from the Celtic word "lemos" meaning "elm [tree]". This particular tree was previously common in the area but has since disappeared.

The town has several memorials from the First World War. Remenauville is a former commune, whose village was totally destroyed during the First World War, in 1942. On 22 December 1962 the name Limey was added to that of the neighboring commune of Limey to form "Limey-Remenauville".^[3]
