Pont-à-Mousson, Administrative commune in Grand Est, France
Pont-à-Mousson sits along the Moselle River at 183 meters elevation, forming a central point between larger urban areas in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department.
The town established prominence in 1572 when Cardinal Charles of Lorraine founded a Jesuit university that attracted students from across western and central Europe.
Students at the historical university divided into two distinct factions, the Ponti Mussoni and Mussiponti, leading to numerous confrontations between the groups.
The town maintains strong transportation connections to major regional centers through its position on primary routes in northeastern France.
The Pont-à-Mousson Company, founded in 1856, transformed from a local iron mine operation into a major manufacturer of cast iron pipes.
