History
On January 23, 1969, Le Molay (the old INSEE code was 14434) amalgamated with the old commune of Littry to form into Le Molay-Littry, and uses the old Littry INSEE code 14330.
Le Molay-Littry is a small Normandy town in the Calvados region which has good travel links with neighbouring towns such as Isigny, Bayeux, St-Lo and Balleroy which served it well in the early 17th Century. At this time the town was a local source of coal which made the town a wealthy one - the town still has a mining museum which is open to the public.
The North-West side of the town (which was known simply as Molay before the joining with Littry) houses a large Chateau which has a rich history.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I feel as tall as you.”

“Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.”

“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
