GEX

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 913 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GEO-GNU
GEX , a town of eastern
France
 ,
chief
  town of an arrondissement in the department of Ain, 10 m. N.W. of Geneva and 3 M. from the Swiss frontier. Pop. (1906) town, 1385; commune, 2727. The town is beautifully situated 2000 ft. above sea-level at the base of the most easterly and highest
chain
  of the Jura. It is the seat of a subprefect and has a tribunal of first instance, and carries on considerable
trade
  in wine, cheese and other provisions, chiefly with Geneva. It gives its name to the old Pays de Gex, situated between the Alps and the Jura, which was at various times under the
protection
  of the Swiss, the Genevese and the
counts
  of Savoy, until in 16or it came into the possession of
France
 , retaining, however, until the Revolution its old independent
jurisdiction
 , with Gex as its
chief
  town. The Pays de Gex is isolated by the Jura from the rest of
French
  territory, and comes within the circumscription of the Swiss customs, certain restrictions being imposed on its products by the
French
  customs.
