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 networked 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.
