Meroux-Moval (French pronunciation: [meʁu mɔval], pronounced as Méroux-Moval) is a commune in the Territoire de Belfort department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in northeastern France. It was established on 1 January 2019 from the merging of the former communes Meroux and Moval.[3] Belfort – Montbéliard TGV station is situated in the commune.
On July 15, 1972, the neighboring communes of Meroux and Moval merged, forming an association that allowed for the possibility of separation at a later date. This separation took place on January 1, 1997, restoring the two communes as independent entities.[4]
On January 1, 2019, Meroux and Moval were merged again following a prefectural decree issued on December 21, 2018.[3]
