SALINS , a town of eastern France, in the department of Jura, on a branch line of the Paris-Lyon railway. Pop. (1906) 4293. Salins is situated in the narrow valley of the Furieuse, between two fortified hills, while to the north rises Mont Poupet (2798 ft.). The town possesses an interesting Romanesque
church
  (which has been well restored) and an hotel de ville of the 18th
century
 . A Jesuit chapel of the 17th
century
  contains a library (established in 1593) and a museum. Salins owes its name to its saline waters, used for bathing and drinking. There are also salt workings and gypsum deposits.
The territory of Salins, which was enfeoffed in the loth century by the abbey of Saint
Maurice
  in
Valais
  to the
counts
  of
Macon
 , remained in possession of their descendants till 1175. Maurette de Salins, heiress of this dynasty, left the lordship to the
house
 . of Vienne, and her granddaughter sold it in 1225 to Hugh IV., duke of
Burgundy
 ,whoceded it in 1237 to John of Chalon (d.1267) in exchange for the countship of Chalon-sur-Saone. John's descendantscounts and dukes of
Burgundy
 , emperors and kings of the
house
  of Austriabore the title of sire de Salins. In 1477 Salins was taken by the French and temporarily made the seat of the parlement of Franche-Comte by Louis XI. In 1668 and 1674 it was retaken by the French and thenceforward remained in their power. In 1825 the town was almost destroyed by fire. In 1871 it successfully resisted the German troops.
