Gaspard de Prony tops a list of 3 famous people born in Chamelet

Gaspard de Prony (French mathematician and engineer, who worked on hydraulics (1755-1839)) is the best known by our measure: 26 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Georges Martin and Louis Bréchard.

3 people born in Chamelet have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 4 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, scientists and doctors: 1 of the 3. That is 33% of the town’s list, against 7% across French towns.

Gaspard de Prony, born in 1755. The youngest on the list was born in 1915.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Chamelet 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.
