The origin of Ranville goes back to antiquity. The Roman road linking Pont-Audemer and Bayeux spent on the town, travelers must take a ferry to Ranville to reach the port of Bénouville and continue their journey. It was not until the mid 19th century that the tank was replaced by a swing bridge.

Over the centuries, several activities were developed: extraction of Caen stone, which was then sent, particularly to England, by Orne (Street career to remember that past Longueval) river activities (fishing and sablonniers ) to Longueval who just died with the opening of the canal from Caen to the sea, agriculture, including the marshes drained in the 19th and 20th centuries.
