===Origins=== The first inhabitants of this forested region settled along the [[Leie]] well before [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] times. Bronze coins and artifacts associated with the [[Gallo-Roman culture]] show extensive activity in this area in the first centuries of our era. This is not surprising given the fact that Sint-Eloois-Vijve stood at the intersection of two important Roman roads: [[Cassel, France|Cassel]]-[[Tongeren]] and [[Bavai]]-[[Oudenburg]]. The name of the current municipality refers to a certain βWaroβ clan or tribe, possibly dating from the [[Franks|Frankish]] period.
