Denain, Administrative commune in Nord, France
Denain spans across 11.52 square kilometers in northern France, featuring varied elevations from 26 to 115 meters above sea level.
The Battle of Denain in 1712 marked a turning point when Marshal Villars defeated Prince Eugene of Savoy's forces, commemorated by a monument with Voltaire's verses.
The industrial heritage of Denain stems from coal mining initiated in 1720 and steel production that began in 1839, influencing Émile Zola's novel Germinal.
The town hall functions as an administrative center, providing municipal services and hosting SNCF travel inquiries every Wednesday for residents.
The population of Denain reached its peak at 29,467 residents in 1962, before experiencing a gradual decline due to industrial changes.
