Geography
A village situated at the source of the Epte river in the Pays de Bray, some 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Dieppe at the junction of the D 1314, D 13 and D 83 roads. The Serqueux station is an important interchange station for TER regional trains, with connections to Rouen, Amiens, Lille and Gisors. Serqueux has an important plant producing most of the gum arabic in the world. The commune has also an important commercial zone which is by far the biggest in the canton.
History
First mentioned as "Sarkeus" in the twelfth century, the name derives from the Greek sarkofagos, owing to the large Merovingian necropolis in the commune.
Much of the village including the church, was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II. Nevertheless, the railway station, which was the goal of the bombings, remained untouched.
In 1945, the commune was awarded the Croix de Guerre.
