Croix-Rousse Hill and the 4th District (69004) would almost be synonymous if the southern slopes of the hill between the Saône and the Rhône were not part of the 1st District.

Joseph Marie Jacquard was born in Lyon on 7 July 1752 and died on 7 August 1834 to Oullins. Stonecutter to Couzon, its fame is due to his idea that led to the creation of the "loom". The mechanics of this business obliges then silk weavers to leave the districts of Saint-Georges, Saint Paul and Saint John to the top of the hill cross-roussienne.
