Crossed by the Loing and Canal Briare Amilly extends over a vast area of 4026 hectares or an area almost as large as the forest Montargis (4400 ha).
Amilly owes its name to a certain Aemilius, a citizen of the Gallo-Roman Closier that the 4 th century, acquires an area on the promontory of the town.
In 1954 the municipality had 4,213 inhabitants, while today it is approaching 12 thousand inhabitants.
Amilly is gone very quickly from the stage of rural village to a city average.
Due to the large size of the city, several districts are distinct Formed:
- Le Bourg is the heart of Amilly, built around the church and town hall, located on the hills, bounded by the sides of the valley Loing
- Big Mill, below the village in the valley of the Loing. Its name comes from an old factory that housed the plant and Lematte Boinot, pharmaceutical logistics center today.
- Viroy situated on a plateau, which is a predominantly residential neighborhood, with Robert College Schuman and also the hospital of the town Montargis.
- Saint Firmin vines, which is bordered by the Loing, and located south of the town.
- The Goths, rural neighborhood on the edge of the Forest, which has 10% of the total population of Amilly
Amilly is also a city steeped in Europe, as evidenced by its twinning with:
- Nordwalde in Germany since 1977 Vilanova del Cami
- in Spain since 2002
- San Vicente in Ecuador since 2002
- Calcinaia in Italy since 2010
Finally, the "Europe Day" established in 2005, which traditionally takes place on 1 st weekend of July.
