Ambleny is a French commune in the department of Aisne in the Picardie region of northern France.
The inhabitants of the commune are known as Amblenois or Amblenoises[1]
Geography
Ambleny is located 8 km west of Soissons and 20 km east of Compiegne. Route National N31 passes through the northern part of the commune between those two cities with an exit to the D943 road which runs south to the town. The D17 road also runs from Fontenoy in the north to the town then continues south to Coeuvres-et-Valsery. The D1631 road also runs from the town south-east to join the D94 road at the southern tip of the commune. There are a number of hamlets in addition to the town - these are: Le Soulier, Montaigu, Hignieres, and Le Rollet. The northern part of the commune is mixed forest and farmland while the southern portion is entirely farmland.
The Ru de Retz waterway forms part of the south-western boundary of the commune before flowing north through the town and continuing to the Aisne river just north of the commune as it flows west to join the Oise at Compiegne. Le Quenneton stream joins the Ru de Retz south of the town at the commune boundary from the west.[2]

Demography
In 2010, the commune had 1,134 inhabitants. The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known through the population censuses conducted in the town since 1793. From the 21st century, a census of municipalities with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants is held every five years, unlike larger towns that have a sample survey every year.[Note 1] [Note 2]

Notes and references
Notes
- ↑ At the beginning of the 21st century, the methods of identification have been modified by law No. 2002-276 of 27 February 2002 , the so-called "law of local democracy" and in particular Title V "census operations" which allow, after a transitional period running from 2004 to 2008, the annual publication of the legal population of the different French administrative districts. For municipalities with a population greater than 10,000 inhabitants, a sample survey is conducted annually, the entire territory of these municipalities is taken into account at the end of the period of five years. The first "legal population" after 1999 under this new law came into force in 1 January 2009 and was based on the census of 2006.
- ↑ In the census table and the graph, by convention in Wikipedia, and to allow a fair comparison between five yearly censuses, the principle has been retained for subsequent legal populations since 1999 displayed in the census table and the graph that shows populations for the years 2006, 2011, 2016, etc.. , as well as the latest legal population published by INSEE
