History

From 1953 to 1966 there was a 500-bed U.S. Army hospital in Croix-Chapeau, run by the 28th General Hospital unit,[2] which is actually located on the neighboring town of Aigrefeuille-d'Aunis. For a while after 1966 it was used as a French Military Hospital. After being abandoned for several years, it was sold to a developer, who in the 2000s repurposed it as an industrial park.[2]

Notable people

Paul Henderson, born August 15, 1962 in Croix-Chapeau, former Chief Minister of the Northern Territory for Australia.
