Geography


Two villages belong to the commune: Poix, and the churchless Terron-les-Poix. Poix became Poix-Terron in 1897. Poix is located on the N51, 18km from Charleville-Mézières, and 28km from Rethel. Terron is located 1.5km from Poix on the D27.

The railway station in Poix-Terron is on the Soissons–Givet railway between Reims and Charleville-Mézières. The station was reopened on 1 October 2011.[2]


History


The town has suffered during religious wars: there was a fire in the village and castle in 1641, and a siege of the church on 8 July 1651.[citation needed] King Louis XIV passed through on 25 June and 7 August 1654.

On 30 August 1870, during the Franco-German war, the Affaire de Poix (The Poix Case, lit. "Poix Affair") occurred, involving the 42nd infantry regiment.

On 14 May 1940, a breach, 8km in length, occurred between Poix-Terron and Baâlons in the French line of defence. A battalion of Spahis attempted to close the breach and held against the Germans in the battle of the Horgne.
