History

  • The former name of the parish was "Culley-sur-Orne" (until 1650).
  • The name "Rabodanges" is a corruption of "Rabodinghes" — a fief situated in Artois close to Saint-Omer — from where the manorial family which also owned the land of Culley-sur-Orne originated; the title of nobility was raised to "Marquis de Rabodanges" by King Louis XIV. The last representative of this family, established in Normandy since the 16th century, died without issue in 1792.

    • Administration

    Since March 2008, the Mayor of Rabodanges has been Yvette Ruban, who is politically independent.
