[edit] History
Though inhabited from the stone age, the existence of the village first dates from Romans. One of the merchants, who followed Caesar and his camp to Catenoy, placed himself on the site of the modern village. The name of the village derives from Latin «Monnachivilla» - "settlement of the monks", which is Moineville in French. Monks inhabited this territory in X, XI centuries. Abbeys of Chaalis, Lannoy and the priory of Wariville possessed beneficences here.
