Rances is first mentioned around 972-73 as Rancias. The name of Rances is apparently derived from a Roman family name, but the exact form of the name has been forgotten. The most dramatic event of its history occurred in 1548, when the village was almost entirely destroyed by an accidental fire. It has been the site of extensive archeological excavations, notably by the University of Geneva. Rances has an area, as of 2009, of 9.8 square kilometers (3.8 sq mi). Of this area, 5.9 km2 (2.3 sq mi) or 60.0% is used for agricultural purposes, while 3.41 km2 (1.32 sq mi) or 34.7% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.49 km2 (0.19 sq mi) or 5.0% is settled (buildings or roads) and 0.04 km2 (9.9 acres) or 0.4% is unproductive land. More information...
