MONTELIMAR

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 766 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MONTELIMAR , a town of
south
 -eastern France,
capital
  of an arrondissement in the department of Dr6me, near the left bank of the Rhone, 93 M. S. of Lyons on the railway to
Marseilles
 . Pop. (1906), town, 9162; commune, 13,554. The ancient castle is now used as a prison. Remains of the ramparts and four old
gates
  are also preserved. The
chief
  public institutions are the sub-prefecture, the tribunal of first instance and the communal college. The
industries
  include flour-milling,
silk
 -throwing and spinning, and the manufacture of hats, lime, farming implements, preserved foods and nougat.
Montelimar was called by the Romans Acunum. At a later period it belonged to the family of Adhemar and received the name
Monteil
  d'Adhemar, whence the present name. Towards the middle of the 14th
century
  it was sold by them partly to the dauphins of Viennois and partly to the
pope
 , and in the next
century
  it came into the possession of the Crown. During the religious wars it valiantly resisted Gaspard de Coligny in 1570, but was taken by the Huguenots in 1587.
