History

During World War I, there was an alleged incident between a British soldier named Henry Tandey and Adolf Hitler in this area. Hitler was unarmed and appeared wounded, so Tandey chose not to shoot and allowed him to walk off unharmed.

From 1877 to 1969 Marcoing had a railway connection to Achiet-le-Grand via the Achiet–Marcoing railway. Later, a line to Cambrai opened.
