History
Discussions between Grosbous and its neighboring Commune of Wahl regarding a potential merger began in early 2019. A crucial step in this process was the referendum held on June 27, 2021, where residents of both communes expressed their support for the merger. The majority of voters in both communities were in favor of the fusion,[1] which officially occurred in September 2023, following the municipal elections in June 2023.[2]
