Twin Towns of Haverhill
Pont-Saint-Esprit
Pont-Saint-Esprit is a commune in the Gard département in southern France.
It is situated on the Rhône River and is the site of a historical crossing, hence its name. The Ardèche River flows into the Rhône, just to the north of the bridge. The residents are called Spiripontains.
Ehringshausen
Ehringshausen is a community in the Lahn-Dill-Kreis in Hesse, Germany.
Ehringshausen had its first documentary mention in 802 in a donation document in the Lorsch codex. According to this document, Inric gave the Lorsch Monastery a fortified yard in the Barcdorfer Mark in the Lahngau. Barcdorf lay near today's Ehringshausen on the Dill's right bank. Whether it can be regarded as Ehringshausen's direct forerunner is, however, unclear.
The oldest centre in the community is, however, not the namesake centre, but rather Breitenbach, which had its first documentary mention in 778.
