It was ancient Attegais, later Athis-sur-Orge, where a treaty of that name was signed in 1305 by the king of France and the count of Flanders. A Romanesque bell tower survives from the 12th-century Priory of Saint-Denis. Athis-Mons is the site of various industries, including metallurgy and food processing, and economic activity is also linked to Orly Airport (international), which adjoins the town to the north. Pop.
