Name


The name "Le Grand-Lemps" was derived from the Latin 'Lampsacus', which was an ancient Greek city near the ancient city of Troy.


Early history


It is likely that the first tribes there, the Ligures, would have arrived and settled in the sixth century BC. Celtic Allobroges later came to mingle with the people. Around 120 BC began the Roman invasion of Gaul. A barbarian tribe the Burgundians later migrated to the area. In 486, Clovis I founded the kingdom of the Franks. After the victory in the Battle of Vézeronce in 524, the Franks claimed the region. In the later part of the sixth century there was the fragmentation of the land between the invaders and the beginning of feudalism. There was then a time of settlement of some Saracen hordes. This was followed by a less hectic period during the reign of Charlemagne, whose empire at his death in 843 was divided into three, leaving the geographic area under the domination of his grandson Lothair I.


Population


Its residents are called Lempsiquois.
