From 1754 to 1951, Stenay was the birthplace of 11 famous people

Pierre Louis Napoleon Cavagnari (British East India Company Army officer (1841-1879)) is the best known by our measure: 12 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Albert Henry and Anne-Gédéon La Fite de Pelleport.

11 people born in Stenay have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 16 people here; the rest aren’t listed because an article names somewhere else or no town, or a check couldn’t be completed.

Among its famous people, writers and artists: 3 of the 11. That is 27% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Anne-Gédéon La Fite de Pelleport, born in 1754. The youngest on the list was born in 1951.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Stenay 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.
