Woincourt (French pronunciation: [wɛ̃kuʁ]) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France. Since 13 February 2020, the commune has been a part of the newly created regional natural park of Baie de Somme - Picardie maritime.
Toponymy
[edit | edit source]Since 1100, the latinized form of Dominica curtis was listed in The Miracles of Saint Angilbert. The name "Waincort" appeared in a 1223 cartulary of Fouilloy, Somme. A 1301 pouillé, a type of ecclesiastical enumeration of a given geographical area, listed the name of the village as "Waincourt". "Wincourt" was cited in 1468, and finally local custom demonstrates use of "Woincourt" beginning in 1507.
Geography
[edit | edit source]Woincourt is situated 15 miles(24 km) southwest of Abbeville, at the D2 and D1925 crossroads. The village can be accessed via the A16 autoroute (Paris-Dunkirk) or the A28 autoroute (Abbeville-Rouen).
History
[edit | edit source]The area once had significant manufacturing, including a locksmith and a rifle factory. Long dependent on the Abbey of Saint-Riquier, Woincourt eventually changed to the hospice of Abbeville. The Saint-Martin church, dating from the 17th century, is located in Woincourt, as well as a monument to the local victims of World War I.
