History

The commune of Malakoff was created on 8 November 1883 by detaching its territory from the commune of Vanves. Its name was taken from an inn sign À la Tour de Malakoff (“At the Malakoff Tower”); the inn was so named in 1855 to commemorate the Battle of Malakoff, fought during the Crimean War.
