Morbier (French pronunciation: [mɔʁbje] ⓘ) is a commune in the Jura department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in Eastern France.[3] From 1680 to 1920, Morbier was, with Morez, the centre of Comtoise clock production. It gave its name to the Morbier cheese, which is produced in a larger area in the Jura Mountains.[4] It is part of Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park.

Population[edit]

In January 2007, Morbier absorbed the formerly independent commune of Tancua.[5] Population data in the table below before 2009 refer to the commune of Morbier without Tancua.
