A Look at Its History
For many years, Montenol was an independent municipality. It had its own local government. But over time, smaller municipalities in Switzerland often join together. This helps them share resources and manage things better. In 2009, Montenol merged with six other villages. These were Epauvillers, Epiquerez, Montfavergier, Ocourt, Rebévelier, and Seleute. Together, they formed the new municipality of Clos du Doubs. This merger helped create a stronger community for the region.
