name Châlette (Caderaita) is cited from the beginning of 9 th century as belonging to the estate of a major owner Gisla Gâtinais of the time.
Then at 13 th century, the town became the property of the family who Machaud held until 1530.
at 18 th century there were many mills on the two rivers running through the village (the Loing and Solin).
We do not count less than five: grist mill, to wheat to tan. It was grinding the bark of oak and the wood itself to the tanneries of Montargis.
In 1738, the mill tan Langlee was deleted and replaced by the Royal Langlee stationery. Then in 1813, will end permanently. Then, an American Hiram Hutchinson, owner of forest (rubber trees), takes possession of the buildings, and with the help of Charles Goodyear, up a factory for manufacturing footwear and waterproof clothing followed by many other productions.
It is the first French factory working rubber. In 1869, a massive fire destroyed the main building and south wing. Immediately the reconstruction work is undertaken and carried out by Gustave Eiffel's first steel-framed building. In 1911, Hutchinson became famous and its success in sporting competitions are innumerable.
From 1914, Vésine is a working city cosmopolitan.
One example exceptional among employees: Deng Xiaoping worked at the plant Langlee in 1922.
North of Hutchinson, this is the loft of Langlee, dated 14 th century and recently restored. It is among the oldest buildings Chalette. The square tower of 7.30 m side built in castile, ie flint related to mortar is the remnant of the former mansion of Langlee.
the first floor are the homes of doves and a floor designed to turn back the droppings of pigeons.
Finally, the existing cottage lake since the late 70s, is an area of 22 hectares. To the north is the site of this great Rozeau, a wildlife refuge and a very diverse flora that must be protected above all.
