What is Saint-Fons?
[[Image:Blason ville fr Saint-Fons (Rhône).svg|right|90px]] '''Saint-Fons''' is a [[France|French]] city next to [[Lyon]]. About 15.000 people live there. The name of the city does not come from a [[saint]]. It is because there are many [[fountain]]s near the city. Originally the place name was ''Cent Fonts'' ( 100 sources), which was changed into the current city name. The city split from [[Vénissieux]] in the middle of the [[19th century]]. The main reason for splitting was because of the [[chemical industry]] in the spot. {{France-geo-stub}} [[Category:Communes in Rhône]]
