Géographie

Montbray est une commune limitrophe du Calvados. Situé sur le versant sud-est d'une colline qui domine la Drôme, affluent de la Vire, le village se divise en deux parties le Bourg (au sud, autour de la chapelle Saint-Pierre et de la mairie, ancien château d'Argenton) et Saint-Martin, autour de l'église Saint-Martin.

Histoire

Les barons de Montbray sont antérieurs à Guillaume le Conquérant. Geoffroy de Montbray, évêque de Coutances, joue un rôle comme guerrier et comme prélat à la bataille d'Hastings. Le château des seigneurs de Montbray est au bas du bourg, sur un rocher peu élevé, au bord d'un ruisseau qui sépare la Manche du Calvados. La motte et l'emplacement sont aisés à reconnaître, bien qu'il reste peu de traces des anciennes fortifications .

Au XIX^e siècle, des foires se tiennent le premier et le troisième jeudi de chaque mois, où l'on vend des bestiaux, des chevaux de trait, de la mercerie, etc. .

Le 18 juin 1944, le dernier châtelain, le baron Roger Choury de Lavigerie, officier de réserve, est arrêté puis exécuté pour faits de résistance .

Le 2 juillet 1944, un avion américain s'écrase sur une maison, faisant sept morts .

Le 17 juillet 1944, près du moulin, cinq personnes périssent sous les bombes américaines en tentant de couper le pont sur la Drôme pour entraver la fuite de l'armée allemande en déroute .

Démographie

L'évolution du nombre d'habitants est connue à travers les recensements de la population effectués dans la commune depuis 1793.
À partir du 21^e siècle, les recensements réels des communes de moins de 10 000 habitants ont lieu tous les cinq ans, contrairement aux autres communes qui ont une enquête par sondage chaque année. En 2020, la commune comptait 296 habitants.
