Correvon — former Swiss municipality in Vaud

Geography and characteristics

The former municipality occupied part of the Swiss plateau typical for Gros‑de‑Vaud: gently rolling fields, pastures and hedgerows. Built features commonly found in the village included traditional farmhouses and a small parish or chapel that served as a local focal point. Administrative life centred on communal institutions typical of Swiss communes—local council meetings and shared services with nearby villages.

History and development

Correvon’s origins are local and rural; its development followed the patterns of many small Vaud villages, shaped by agriculture and local parish structures. Over the late 20th and early 21st centuries, demographic and administrative pressures encouraged cooperative arrangements among small communes. These trends favored consolidation to improve service delivery and planning capacity while preserving local heritage.

Merger into Montanaire

On 1 January 2013 Correvon ceased to exist as an independent municipality when it joined eight neighbouring communes to create the new municipality of Montanaire. The other former municipalities that merged were:

• Chanéaz
• Chapelle‑sur‑Moudon
• Denezy
• Martherenges
• Neyruz‑sur‑Moudon
• Peyres‑Possens
• Saint‑Cierges
• Thierrens

Legacy and significance

As part of Montanaire, Correvon’s administrative functions were integrated into a larger municipal structure intended to provide more efficient public services, better land‑use planning and improved fiscal capacity. Local identity, historical buildings and landscape remain points of community interest; preservation of these elements is often managed through the larger municipality’s cultural and planning policies.
