History[change | change source]

Its name comes from the Gallo-Roman Inter Amnes, that means "between the waters": in fact three rivers flow into its territory: the Mayenne, which gives its name to the department, the Jouanne, at the entrance of the village and the Ouette.

On its territory, in 1793, happened the battle of Entrammes.
