Suger von Saint-Denis
The creation of the city dates from 1148, by Abbot Suger and gave him the name "Putiauz". The foundation of Puteaux part of several other towns in the region by Abbot Suger, as Carrières-sur-Seine, Vaucresson or Villeneuve-la-Garenne and aimed to attract people in the region. This appeal was reinforced by certain privileges granted by the Abbot Suger.
