Barenton’s famous people span 407 years: 4 births from 1510 to 1917

Guillaume Postel (French linguist, astronomer, diplomat and professor (1510–1581)) is the best known by our measure: 22 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Catherine Théot and Hilaire de Barenton.

4 people born in Barenton have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one).

Among its famous people, scientists and doctors: 2 of the 4. That is 50% of the town’s list, against 7% across French towns.

Guillaume Postel, born in 1510. The youngest on the list was born in 1917.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Barenton itself, matched by its INSEE code (a commune merged into it counts when the dates allow), whose French Wikipedia article agrees, and their English article too when they have one. A hospital or neighbourhood recorded without its commune isn’t matched. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.

Their Wikidata birthplace may be a hospital, a neighbourhood or a wider area, another commune, or missing, or their articles may not name a birthplace. We only list people the sources agree on; editing Wikidata or Wikipedia changes this page at the next refresh.
