History

The district of the Mid-Moselle (district de la moyenne Moselle) was born in February 1966, its objectives being at that time as follows:

Promotion of economic development
Housing improvement
Attention to environmental problems (which in 1966 was an innovative objective)
Road maintenance
Creation of a networekd drinking water supply

Following the passing in 1999 of the Chevènement Law of 1999, the district of the Mid-Moselle transformed itself into the Association of middle Moselle communes. The association was founded either on the final day of 1999 or on the first day of 2000: sources differ.

In addition to the name change, the new millennium also marked a total change of objectives, because of the way in which an administrative grouping was transformed into a true project driven community of communes (communauté de projet) in terms of the entities named communautés de communes under the statute of 1992.
