Geography

Barbuise is located some 45 km north-west of Troyes and 20 km east of Provins. Access to the commune is by the D40 from La Villeneuve-au-Châtelot in the east which passes through the heart of the commune south of the village and continues west then south-west to join the D40A to Chalautre-la-Grande. The D52 comes from Villenauxe-la-Grande in the north and passes through the village before continuing south-east to Pont-sur-Seine. The D97 goes north-west from the village to Montpothier. The D174 branches off the D97 west of the village and goes north to Plessis-Barbuise. The D197 connects the D40 and the D97 in the west of the commune. The commune is almost all farmland with many lakes occupying a significant area of land in a belt across the commune and in the south-east.[4][5]

The Canal de Courtavant crosses the south-east of the commune from south-west to north-east. The Noxe river flows from the north passing near the village and joins the canal. The Canal de Soulaunoy joins the Noxe south-west of the village.[4]

History

The area of the commune has been occupied since ancient times as evidenced by many archaeological discoveries and megaliths in the commune.

Barbuise appears as Barbuife on the 1750 Cassini Map[6] and as Barbuise on the 1790 version.[7]

Demography

In 2010 the commune had 416 inhabitants. The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known from the population censuses conducted in the commune since 1793. From the 21st century, a census of communes with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants is held every five years, unlike larger communes that have a sample survey every year.[Note 1]

Notes
  1. At the beginning of the 21st century, the methods of identification have been modified by Law No. 2002-276 of 27 February 2002 Archived 6 March 2016 at the Wayback Machine, the so-called "law of local democracy" and in particular Title V "census operations" allows, after a transitional period running from 2004 to 2008, the annual publication of the legal population of the different French administrative districts. For communes with a population greater than 10,000 inhabitants, a sample survey is conducted annually, the entire territory of these communes is taken into account at the end of the period of five years. The first "legal population" after 1999 under this new law came into force on 1 January 2009 and was based on the census of 2006.
