Nice History
- The first record there is of inhabitancy in this area comes from archaeological finds from 400,000 years ago of Primitive settlers, who built a camp at the base of Mont-Boron, in a cave called Grotte du Lazaret. Many thousands of years later in the 4th century BC, Nice gained its name when the Massaliote Greeks won a notable conquest over the Barbarians on this site. The triumphant Greeks from Marseilles named the area Nikaia, which means "giver of victory." The position of Nice as the closest port from the island of Cyrnos (present-day Corsica), meant that the area became an important mercantile trading post. The beginnings of the new town were established on the slopes of the Château hill (Colline du Château), named after the castle which occupied the site. At this time, Nice was a small stronghold which protected the port using the natural defences awarded to it – the Colline du Château. At this time the town was controlled by magistrates appointed by Marseilles, and only had a few hundred citizens, most of whom were merchants, or fishermen who used the harbour for storing their fishing nets.
In approximately 14 BC, the Romans occupied the area. At this time the Romans established a second town, Cemenelum, on Cimiez hill. This town became the county seat for the Alpes-Maritimes military government, and Cimiez quickly became a strategic centre. The lower parts of the town, close to the port and climbing the Château hillside, lived in the shadow of Cimiez for the next few centuries. In the 6th century CE, Nikaia gained in prominence over Cemenelum, which consequently disappeared with the fall of the Roman Empire. Nikaia then became part of the French empire, because of its importance as a trading port. In 813 the town was overrun by the Saracens, who conquered the whole of eastern Provence on the Côte des Maures. In 972 Guillaume the Compte de Provence ran them out of the area, trading then increased over the centuries in the lower town, leading to the first town charter being drawn up in 1176. With the death of Queen Jeanne de Provence in 1382, civil war broke out in Provence. Six years later, the people of Nice placed themselves under the protection of the Compte de Savoie, Amedee VII, in what was called the "inedict" of 1388. Nice became a strategic stronghold for the Savoy Counts, and the town was pivotal in their defence against the French and their allies.
The 17th century heralded the flourishing of baroque art in Nice, with many buildings being built in this style, and artists painting stunning masterpieces. In 1691 and 1705, the French army twice destroyed Nice's defences and the Château on the hill was destroyed. In 1713, the town again put themselves under the protection of the Compte de Savoie, who had by now become the King of Sardinia. Between 1792 and 1814, the Alpes-Maritimes region was annexed to France. Nice was returned to the French, but with the agreement of its inhabitants. With the fall of Napoleon, Nice again came under the power of Sardinia, but the language and culture distanced it further and further from Italy. On March 24, 1860, Napoleon III and Victor-Emmanuel II, King of Sardinia, agreed that Nice would be handed over to France once and for all, a decision that met with universal approval from the inhabitants. This resulted in an economic explosion; roads were built, the railway was created, and the population grew enormously.
During this period, winter tourism, which had begun to gain in popularity in the mid-1700s, increased. In 1827 the town received more than 600 winter-holiday makers, coming from all over Europe to enjoy the mild weather. The latter part of the 19th century were glory days for Nice, with the construction of many belle époque buildings. During this time the city was also the haunt of international royals, with Queen Victoria staying in Nice in 1895, and Tsar Nicholas II in 1912. During his stay the Tsar built the ubiquitous domed Cathédrale Orthodoxe Russe (Russian Orthodox cathedral), in St-Philippe which dominates the Old Town. After the Second World War the city lost favour with its aristocratic visitors, and became more renowned as a den of vice and crime. In 1982 the city made the news for the attack English author Graham Greene launched against Nice’s then mayor, Jacques Médecin. Greene claimed the municipal leader was corrupt, and this was indeed proven when he was later imprisoned.
In the latter part of the 20th century mass tourism grew, and the trend for winter-sun holidays in the area was inverted. The town now became a summer holiday resort for sun worshippers who came to sunbathe on the beautiful sandy beaches. Today tourism is a vital and fundamental part of the local economy, attracting both tourists and celebrities alike who come to take pleasure in the beautiful surroundings and laid-back atmosphere.
