Estrées, Aisne

Estrées is a commune in the Aisne department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.

The etymology of the name is from strata (cognate of English "street"), the word for the stone-layered Roman roads in the area (some of which turned into modern highways).

Also known in ancient times as Strata or Estreti, history mentions an abbey in the 12th century.

A parish was created there about 1189 with a priest sent from the abbey of Mont Saint Martin to buy land and help the poor.

In 1777 Pierre Nicolas Leroy began manufacturing silk gauze here.
