Les Grands Moulins de Pantin, a factory in Greater Paris Originally an agricultural area, Pantin experienced an industrial boom thanks to the transport network that developed there from 1840 onwards. Agricultural crops gave way to factories and warehouses. Created in 1846, the Paris-Strasbourg line stopped at Pantin station in 1864. In 1860, at the request of Napoleon III, Haussmann laid the foundations for the first “Greater Paris” by absorbing the many towns bordering the capital. La Villette, near Pantin, was annexed.The interdependence between Paris and Pantin became even more pronounced with the gradual development of the Ourcq Canal.
