  Mouscron (Municipality, Province of Hainaut, Belgium)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Mouscron belonged to the châtellenie of Kortrijk; it was French from 1668 (treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle) to 1678 (treaty of Nijmegen) and definitively incorporated into the Low Countries in 1713 (treaty of Utrecht).
Mouscron was divided into three domains, the domain of Mouscron, depending on the feudal court of Harelbeke; the fief of Val, depending on Warcoin; and the domain belonging to St. Peter's College in Lille.
The population of Mouscron is mostly French-speaking (94% in 1846; 74% in 1947); therefore, on 1 September 1963, Mouscron was detached from the Flemish province of West Flanders and incorporated to the Walloon province of Hainaut, with a small increase in its territory, taken from the municipality of Rekkem.
