History The existence of this borough is attested, in various forms, in very old documents (11th century), demonstrating that smallness and longevity can go hand in hand. A lost land, between Angre and Quiévrain, suspended between France and Belgium, forgotten in the extreme northwest of Les Honnelles, Marchipont was even, from its origins, the ideal hideout for smugglers.

Former Municipalities Of Hainaut (province)
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the ad ...
