History A Celtic presence on the municipal territory of Amnéville has been attested since the 6th century BC. Excavations have demonstrated the existence of a village and a necropolis.

Amnéville was part of the Duchy of Bar until 1480, then of the Duchy of Lorraine.

During the first German annexation, in 1894, the municipality of Amnéville was created by splitting the municipality of Gandrange. The Rombas factory was created at this time. The new municipality was named Stahlheim, literally "City of Steel". Stahlheim-Amnéville, will later be renamed Amnéville-Stahlheim. It became French again in 1919. In 1974, it absorbed the former commune Malancourt-la-Montagne.Modifications aux circonscriptions administratives territoriales (fusion de communes), Journal officiel de la République française n° 0167, 20 July 1973, pp. 7891-7892.
