Mée (French pronunciation: [me]) is a commune in the Mayenne department in north-western France.

History

[edit]

Under the Ancien Régime, the town was part of the stronghold of the Angevin barony of Craon, depended on the main senechaussee of Angers and the chosen country of Château-Gontier.

In 1635 was listed on the territory of the municipality a rather mediocre fund, containing 350 arpents in arable land, 165 in pasture, 85 in meadows, 216 in wood, 8 in farms and 214 in "heaths and ungrateful lands."

The main resource of the town was for a long time only the chestnut trees. There were 54 farms in Méé in 1853.
