In 1680, <a href="/wiki/Louis_XIV_of_France" class="mw-redirect" title="Louis XIV of France">Louis XIV of France</a> gave orders to build a fortification (to defend the new French eastern frontier) on the banks of the river Saar which was called <i>Sarre-Louis</i>.

The plans were made by Thomas de Choisy, the town's first Gouvenour. In 1683, Louis XIV visited the fortress and granted arms. The coat of arms shows the rising sun and three <a href="/wiki/Fleur-de-lis" title="Fleur-de-lis">Fleur-de-lis</a>. The heraldic motto is <i>Dissipat Atque Fovet</i>: He (the Sun) dispels (the clouds) and heats (the earth). </p><p>In 1697, the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Ryswick" class="mw-redirect" title="Treaty of Ryswick">Treaty of Ryswick</a> made most parts of Lorraine independent again, but Saarlouis and the surrounding areas remained a French <a href="/wiki/Exclave" class="mw-redirect" title="Exclave">exclave</a>. During the <a href="/wiki/French_Revolution" title="French Revolution">French Revolution</a>, the town was renamed Sarre-Libre, but it returned to its original name in 1810. With the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Paris_(1815)" title="Treaty of Paris (1815)">Treaty of Paris</a> in 1815, Saarlouis (and the whole region later known as the <a href="/wiki/Saargebiet" class="mw-redirect" title="Saargebiet">Saargebiet</a>) became <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Prussia" title="Kingdom of Prussia">Prussian</a>. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Marshal_of_France" title="Marshal of France">Marshal</a> <a href="/wiki/Michel_Ney" title="Michel Ney">Michel Ney</a>, who was born in Saarlouis, was arrested and tried for <a href="/wiki/Treason" title="Treason">treason</a> after the failure of <a href="/wiki/Napoleon_I" class="mw-redirect" title="Napoleon I">Napoleon I</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Waterloo_Campaign" class="mw-redirect" title="Waterloo Campaign">Waterloo Campaign</a>.

Ney refused to cooperate, declaring himself to be French, and so was convicted and later executed. </p><p>After <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a>, French troops occupied Saarlouis.

However, long-held sentiments against France remained entrenched, and very few sympathized openly with France.
