History
[
edit
]
This territory was already inhabited in the
Neolithic
period. Numerous flint weapons have been found.
In pre-Roman Gaul the Belgic tribe of the
Veliocasses
or Velocasses controlled a large area around the town.
Christianity came to the area with the work of
Nicasius of Rouen
, about 250
AD
The village of Mousseaux is a center of
caving
in the area. The inhabitants of the area have nicknamed the caves "sparkling".
[3]
The village was until the late 18th century an important wine production, which remains, still visible, an old press.
In 2003, Mousseaux-sur-Seine chooses to join the urban community of Mantes en Yvelines, rather than the community of communes des Portes Ile-de-France focused on Bonnieres-sur-Seine.
