• According to the story - or legend - the town was named in honor of a Saint-Chéron Roman called Caronus (now Cheron) who, after a brilliant student at Rome, converted to Christianity and came via Marseilles in Gaul to preach the Christian faith. Killed by bandits on the road to Chartres Ablis 5th of the Kalends of June in the year 98 AD, he was canonized in Chartres around 800 AD. The same legend says that this holy king (Brenn) Carnutes, have belonged to a group of 3 priests sent from St. Denis to evangelize the Ile-de-France region. North, it was Saint Eleuteri for Parisiis, the second was for Senones Saint Yon, and the third for the region Saint-Chéron Carnutes (Chartres). No documentation yet we can not ensure the veracity of this story. Opinions differ and the very existence of this saint is in question. Some authors even believe that it is only a matter of composition given to the 9th century to house students in education, in the style "Tell us a saint." In this case, Saint-Chéron would come straight from the fertile imagination of a student inspired ...
• Anyway, Saint-Chéron called Saint Cheron Montcouronne in 1200 (100 inhabitants), Saint-Chéron Baville from 1786 to 1789, Rock the Pines from 1789 to 1794 (1020 inhabitants), and finally Saint Cheron from an IV , that is to say 1795 (1096 inhabitants).
