Tannay is a municipality in the district of Nyon in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland.

History

Tannay may have been founded before the town of Coppet, which was first mentioned in 1294.[3] However, it is first mentioned in 1390 as Taney.[4] During the Middle Ages, it was part of the barony of Coppet. In 1536 the region became part of the Canton of Bern and the village was part of the Vogtei of Nyon, with the Baron of Coppet retaining power over the villages surrounding Coppet. Tannay Castle was built in 1649. In the 17th century, French Huguenots from the Pays de Gex region fled to Tannay to escape persecution. The descendants of one of these refugees, Jean Delor, founded a successful watch factory in the 19th century. In 1858 a rail station on the Geneva-Lausanne line opened in Tannay. However, until about 1950, it was primarily a rural, farming village. By the beginning of the 21st century it had transformed into a bedroom community of Geneva.[4]
