Histoire

L'hôtel de ville est reconstruit en 1864 sous le Second Empire. L'ancien hôtel de ville de Rueil-Malmaison devenu musée d'histoire locale reprend les grands traits de celui de Fontainebleau. Dans l'après-midi du 3 septembre 1888, le président de la République, Sadi Carnot, en déplacement à Fontainebleau, effectue une visite du bâtiment dont il parcourt les salles et les bureaux.

L'hôtel de ville est autrefois l'un des bâtiments de la ville à sonner l'heure. Lors de sa séance du 28 décembre 1929, le conseil municipal vote l'électrification de ses horloges, en même temps que celle de l'église Saint-Louis et l'installation d'une autre place de l'Étape, en allouant pour le tout une somme de 16 000 francs.
