History
The name Chinumasnil is attested as early as 1156 in a document preserved in the Meurthe-et-Moselle archives under reference H 333. Cheniménil was part of the bailiwick of Bruyères. Within its territory were three lordships: Saint-Pierre, Raigecourt (or Rachecourt), and Parois. At the time of the French Revolution, these were united and belonged to the lord of the village. In addition to rural fines, he collected one-third of the rents from leased and rented communal lands.[3]
The church was an annex of Docelles.
Cheniménil was part of the canton of Docelles until 19 Vendémiaire year X (October 11, 1801).
During the World War II, Cheniménil was captured by Nazi Germany, resulting of extensively heavy damage until the Allied Powers arrived cir. 1944 - 1945.[citation needed]
