Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FOURMIES , a town of northern
France
 , in the department of Nord, on an affluent of the Sambre, 39 M. S.E. of
Valenciennes
  by
rail
 . Pop. (1906) 13,308. It is one of the
chief
  centres in
France
  for
wool
  combing and spinning, and produces a
great
  variety of cloths. The glass-works of Fourmies date from 1599, and were the first established in the north of France.
Iron
  is worked in the vicinity, and there are important forges and foundries. Enamel-
ware
  is also manufactured. In 1891 labour troubles brought about military intervention and consequent bloodshed. A board of
trade
  arbitration and a school of commerce and industry are among the public institutions.
