History
Second World War
On 27 September 1944, 39 men from Étobon were shot by German troops against the Protestant church and 27 others taken as prisoners in retaliation for the death of a German general killed on 9 September by the French resistance in the nearby forest between Belverne and Lyoffans. The town received the Croix de Guerre 1939-1945 after the Second World War and the Legion of Honour in 1949.
