Champigny-sur-Marne (; 'Champigny-on-Marne') is a major city in the Île-de-France region, France. It is located 12.5 km east-southeast from the centre of Paris.

Name

Champigny-sur-Marne was originally called simply Champigny. The name Champigny ultimately comes from Medieval Latin Campaniacum, meaning "estate of Campanius", a Gallo-Roman landowner.

In 1897 the name of the commune officially became Champigny-sur-Marne (meaning "Champigny upon Marne"), in order to distinguish it from other communes of France also called Champigny.

History

The Hôtel de Ville was established as an orphanage operated by the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul and only opened for municipal use in 1931.
