A Change for Saint-Sulpice
On January 1, 2009, Saint-Sulpice joined with several other nearby municipalities. These included Boveresse, Buttes, Couvet, Fleurier, Les Bayards, Môtiers, Noiraigue, and Travers.
Forming Val-de-Travers
All these towns came together to create a new, larger municipality. This new municipality is called Val-de-Travers. This merger meant that Saint-Sulpice no longer existed as a separate municipality. Instead, it became part of the bigger Val-de-Travers community. This kind of merger happens when smaller towns decide to combine their resources. It helps them work together more efficiently.
