Article History

Saint-Dizier, town, Haute-Marne département, Grand Est région, northeastern France. It is situated on the Marne River and the Canal de la Marne à la Saône, northeast of Troyes. On the site of the Roman Desiderii Fanum, its Gigny and Saint-Martin churches date from the 13th century. The Church of Notre-Dame was reconstructed after a fire (1775). A monument commemorates the heroic resistance of Francis I to the forces of Emperor Charles V in 1544. An iron- and bronze-founding town, it has other heavy industry as well as textile manufacturing and food processing. Pop. (1999) 30,900; (2014 est.) 25,505.
