Geography

History

edit

Before the French Revolution, Pouxeux fell within the territory of Arches, under the bailiwick of Remiremont. Its church, dedicated to Saints Gorgon and Nabor, was an annex to the church at Éloyes. Under the administrative arrangements introduced in 1790 the commune was part of the canton of Éloyes. The present administrative structure came into force some ten years later.
