History

In 1991 a study was started by SIEPA, which was the origin of Greater Amiens, established in 1994 with 18 municipalities.
Pursuant to the Chevènement Act, 2000, it was turned into a communauté d'agglomération, Amiens Métropole, which then encompassed 20 communes with the arrival of Allonville and Bertangles.
Since then, Amiens Métropole has continued to add more communes: 2003, with 21 municipalities, 2004 with 27 municipalities, and in 2007, 33 municipalities. In January 2018, it was expanded with 6 more communes from the Communauté de communes du Territoire Nord Picardie and the Communauté de communes Nièvre et Somme to 39 communes.
