History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The department is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790. It was named after the Ardennes hills, which are located in northeast France, southern Belgium and Luxembourg. It includes portions of the former provinces of Champagne and Argonne (Celtic: "Ar Gonn", meaning "deep forest"), and the principality of Sedan.

Origins: The name of "Ardennes" ("Ar Denn", from Celtic : "the forest") was first mentioned by Julius Caesar in his book "The Commentaries on the Gaulic War", which describes a Celtic goddess who was named "Arduinna".

The area had been the location of much fighting in World War I and World War II, such as the Battle of the Ardennes and the Battle of the Bulge.
