• Location: Charny-sur-Meuse is now a thriving village in the department of Meuse, chief town of Verdun district in the country, the town includes more than 500 people. Its specific site on the left bank of the Meuse at the foot of the Meuse Hauts de Charny is a strategic exchange and communication. It is this particular site which gives its name to the municipality. Charny's name is indeed derived from the Celtic language of Gaul in which the word "car" or "horn" would mean "horn" or "summit," Charny is the village located at the corner of the hills (the highest Meuse) that join with water (Meuse). Its location, north of Verdun Charny is a choke point, living in symbiosis with the city Verdun. The village of Charny is characterized as a place of passage and a defensive place, but also a central location overlooking the area north of the borough.
• History:

• Charny has from the outset played a principal role in the life of the city Verdun, particularly related to the bishops of Lorraine, the prosperous village in the High Middle Ages, which led to it being offered to the bishopric of Verdun as a gift by the Frankish king of Austrasia Childebert second (570-596, the son of the famous Queen Brunhild torn in Metz), probably to thank the Bishop of Verdun for his loyalty during this tumultuous period of the Royal Faid. This link with the diocese is very beneficial in the late 12th century, the Bishop of Verdun Arnould de Chiny adds a church.
• Became an important fortified place is highly competitive in the future. The battle for the castle of Charny, then a stronghold of the Bishopric of Verdun is fierce as the lust of the Counts of Bar is great.
• Under the Old Regime in the village between the legal and tax system of the Abbey of Saint-Paul de Verdun. These monks of the order of Premonstratensian take the benefit of the farm Villers Monks (now 2 km on the road to Thierville).
• The First World War followed a series of devastating conflicts affecting the village, the frontier position, such as the Thirty Years War, the revolutionary wars, or the siege of Verdun in 1870. After the defeat of 1870, the village is part of the defense system organized by Sere de Rivieres: the fortified region of Verdun. A series of works are in the vicinity of the village, this development continues defensive throughout the war. At the outbreak of war, Charny is once again a place of encampment for soldiers during the first two years of the conflict. The German attack on the fortified region of Verdun in February 1916 saw the complete destruction of Charny, whose population was evacuated in advance. The return of the inhabitants is that in 1919, initially living in makeshift huts, reconstruction began and the village is reborn from the ashes and then receives a double honor: a summons to the order of the Army and the Military Cross for never having been taken.
• In 1939, the specter of war resurfaced, the "phony war" gave way in May 1940, the reality of a conflict in which we were not prepared. The bridges over the Meuse were destroyed by the French genius for delaying a relentless German advance. The occupation is inevitable. The occupant installs its kommandantur the neighboring village, in Bras-sur-Meuse for two years. Acts of resistance are tempted as theft of ammunition stored at the plant Ricom whose author is shot. Liberation arrives in September 1944 with the troops of the 7th U.S. Armored Division. The GI's settled in the outskirts of Verdun became an important feeder for the U.S. military.
• From the post-war, the village continues to grow but is gradually losing its agricultural identity. The proximity of Verdun Charny brings to be more dynamic. The introduction of new services in order to attract residents, businesses and economic activities as well as many tourists, has become the priority of the municipality but also grouped around a common community of Commons.

• On the territory of the commune, there are traces of occupation dating back several times. From medieval times we can find some vestiges of the old castle (private property) to 2 km on the road to Thierville, is the farm of Villers Monks.
• From Tight system of rivers and the First World War, the town has inherited several books. The position of the Belle Thorn in 1883, the Fort de Charny from 1887 to 1 km south west, and finally Fort Vacherauville 3 km to the west with the model anticipates that construction of the Maginot Line.
