## History

[edit]

The assumption a long time was put forth that the battle of Julius Caesar against the Nervians would have occurred in Presles, which was cancelled in around 1940.

Presles belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Liège until the French occupation, after which it was added to the new department Jemappes.
