Becoming Part of La Baroche

On January 1, 2009, Fregiécourt joined a new, larger municipality. This new municipality is called La Baroche. So, Fregiécourt is no longer a separate municipality. It is now a village within La Baroche.

This kind of change happens when smaller areas combine. They often do this to share resources better. It can also help with local government.
