One of the most densely populated municipalities in Europe, Issy-les-Moulineaux is a commune in the southwestern suburbs of Paris, France. Along with the other communes of Chaville, Meudon, Vanves and Ville-d’Avray, it became part of the Communaute d’agglomeration Arc de Seine. Located at the heart of the business district of the Val de Seine, which is specialized in communication activities, Issy-les-Moulineaux is 6.6 km (4.1 miles) from the center of Paris. Originally called Issy, it became Issy-les-Moulineaux officially in 1893. The name Issy comes from Medieval Latin Issiacum or Isciacum, meaning “estate of Isicius (or Iccius)” a Gallo-Roman landowner, although some think the name comes from a Celtic radical meaning “under the wood”. Les Moulineaux was the name of a hamlet on the territory of the commune, apparently named Les Moulineaux due to the windmills (French: moulins) that stood there in ancient times. The city of Paris was enlarged on by annexing neighboring communes on January 1, 1860. About a third of the commune of Issy-les-Moulineaux was annexed to Paris and now forms the neighborhood of Javel, in the 15th arrondisement of Paris.
