History
Beaufort was the site of the final shot of World War I: a 95-pound shell fired at 10:59:59 AM[3] on 11 November 1918 from a 155mm howitzer nicknamed Calamity Jane, belonging to Battery E of the U.S. 11th Field Artillery, which was entrenched east of the town.[4] The target is uncertain, but was probably the railway between Metz and Sedan.[5]
Government
The communities representative for the National Assembly of France is Jean-Louis Dumont.
