Saint-Dizier, Administrative commune in Haute-Marne, France.

This commune sits in northeastern France within the Haute-Marne region at 146 meters elevation. The municipality covers several cantons and forms the center of its own arrondissement with administrative functions for the surrounding territory.

After the First World War the town received the Croix de Guerre for its role as a supply base and medical center. Between 1914 and 1918 military hospitals were established here that took in wounded soldiers from the nearby battlefields of Verdun.

The railway station preserves a photographic collection showing French and American soldiers during the First World War. Visitors can discover these historical images while walking through the building and get a sense of daily life for the troops.

The municipal administration operates four district offices spread across different neighborhoods. Anyone needing information or documents can find a point of contact for public services in each sector.

During the war the commune transformed into a network of field hospitals and treated wounded soldiers from the fighting at Verdun. This medical infrastructure shaped the appearance of the town for several years and brought together doctors and medics from across France.
