Editing Bron (section)

==History==
The earliest traces of life in Bron can be found in the cemetery and date from 71 BC. The town as it is today did not take shape until approximately 1812.

In mid-August 1944, prisoners from [[Montluc prison]] were taken to [[Lyon–Bron Airport|Bron Airfield]] where 109 of them, including 72 Jews, were killed in the {{interlanguage link|Bron massacres|fr|massacres de Bron}}, which would become known as ''Le Charnier de Bron'' ("The [[Charnel house]] of Bron").<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.leprogres.fr/rhone/2014/09/02/bron-le-panneau-en-memoire-des-charniers-de-l-aeroport-devoile |title=Bron: le panneau en mémoire des charniers de l'aéroport dévoilé |trans-title=Bron: memorial unveiled to mass graves at the airport |newspaper=[[Le Progrès]] |date=2 September 2014 |access-date=28 April 2015}}</ref>

Bron was spared much of the damage caused by the riots in many of France's suburbs in the 1990s, such as in [[Vénissieux]] and [[Villeurbanne]].
