History
The name comes is from the Germanic man's name ‘’Odardus’’ and from the Latin ‘’villa’’. The commune is made up of the union of two hamlets, Oherville, first mentioned in 1240 and Auffray, mentioned in 1040. The existence of a feudal motte indicates the presence of a medieval castle. The first seigneurs of the place are mentioned in 1170. In the Middle Ages it was a dependency of the Duchy of Longueville. Oherville was a fiefdom under the lordship of Veauville until the 16th century. The village's position by the banks of the Durdent led to the construction of mills used for purposes including grinding corn, pressing of oil and the production of linen from flax. Traces of some mills can still be found.
