History

The earlier spelling of the name Acheux was either Aceu or Acheu (from the charter of the foundation of the nearby abbey of Corbie). It comes from the Celtic Achad that meant "cultivated field". The town of Acheux is ancient. It certainly existed in Roman times, where a fort was established, comprising ditches and palisades, to protect it from attacks by the Atrebates, a Gaulish tribe, after whom Arras is named.

Within the Commune is the Acheux British Military Cemetery containing war graves from the First World War.
