Chêne-Bougeries, GE

 municipality, draw only border

Chêne-Bougeries is a municipality in the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland. It spreads over 4.17 km² of land and its highest point is at 420 meters high. It recently crossed the symbolic barrier of 10000 inhabitants and thus became officially a city.

In 1798 the commune was forced to merge with the neighbouring communes of Chêne-Thônex and Chêne-Bourg to create a new entity, the Trois-Chêne. In 1801, however, it was able to regain the autonomous commune status, while Chêne-Thônex and Chêne-Bourg remained unified. The three communes are still referred today as Trois-Chêne and close ties are still in place. In 1816, Chêne-Bougeries, as many of other neighboring communes, became part of a newly Swiss Geneva.

While it used to be an agricultural commune for most of its history, Chêne-Bougeries, due to its close position to the city of Geneva, became essentially residential, attracting middle to very high revenue families.
