The official name is Saint-Étienne-sur-Loire. It is an industrial city in the southeast of France, the capital of the Loire department. The city's name comes from the name of the cathedral in the center. Weapon manufacturing and silk weaving were already established in the 15th century, but in the 19th century coal mining flourished and the city rapidly developed as an industrial city, forming the basis for the development of heavy industry in France. The earliest railway in France was laid in 1828, 16 km long, between Andrézieux on the banks of the Loire. Today, the mines have declined, but the city is a major center of the textile and dyeing industries. Metal industry, centered on the production of alloy steel, is also thriving, and there are many factories, including a large national weapons factory, that produce weapons. In 1966, the Lyon-Saint-Étienne Metropolitan Development Research Organization was established, and comprehensive development of the two cities, which now share a metropolitan area, is underway. Population: 172,696 (2008). Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
正式名称はサンテティエンヌシュルロアール Saint-Étienne-sur-Loire。フランス南東部,ロアール県の県都,工業都市。市の名称は中央にある聖堂の名に由来する。 15世紀にはすでに武器製造と絹織物工業が始められていたが,19世紀には石炭の採掘が盛んになって工業都市として急速に発展,フランスの重工業発展の基礎をなした。フランスで最も早い時期の鉄道が,1828年にロアール河岸のアンドレジューとの間,16kmに敷設された。現在,鉱山は衰微したが,織物,染色工業の一大中心。合金鋼の製造を中心に金属工業も盛んで,特に兵器生産では,国営の大兵器工場をはじめ,多数の工場がある。 1966年にリヨン=サンテティエンヌ大都市圏整備研究組織が設立され,都市圏を接するにいたった両都市の総合的整備が進められている。人口 17万2696(2008)。
