FR Rognac est une commune française située dans le département des Bouches-du-Rhône, en région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Elle fait partie de la métropole d'Aix-Marseille-Provence. Ses habitants sont appelés les Rognacais.
Les premières traces de présence humaine sur le sol de Rognac remontent au IIIe millénaire av. J.-C. Les bords de l'étang de Berre sont alors habités par des populations sédentaires pratiquant la chasse et la pêche. La plaine et les barres rocheuses sont aussi habitées par des groupes pratiquant notamment la culture et l'élevage.
Une tribu ligure fonde un village dans la plaine ainsi qu'un castrum au lieu-dit du Castellas (Ier millénaire av. J.-C.).
Avec l'installation romaine, de nombreuses villae sont construites. L'une d'elles, Rudinacum, aurait donné son nom à Rognac. Malgré les siècles de déclin, le site de Rognac n'est pas abandonné. Aux alentours de l'an 1000, un château seigneurial est construit et un village perché au pied du Castellas se développe. Au milieu du xve siècle, les populations de Rognac délaissent ce site en hauteur pour s'installer dans la plaine et aux abords de l'étang

Le blason de Rognac
Comme pour d'autres communes de la région, la mode récente veut que l'on applique sur chaque plaque de nom de rue le blason de la ville. Si les communes se touchent, on sait ainsi dans quelle rue mais aussi dans quelle ville on se trouve ... à condition de bien connaître les blasons !
Le blason se lit ainsi : "De sable, semé de faux d'or"


Blason de la ville de Rognac (13)


EN Rognac is a French commune located in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It is part of the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolis. Its inhabitants are called the Rognacais.
The first traces of human presence on the soil of Rognac date back to the third millennium BC. The edges of the Etang de Berre are then inhabited by sedentary populations practicing hunting and fishing. The plain and the rocky bars are also inhabited by groups practicing in particular the culture and the breeding.
A Ligurian tribe founded a village in the plain as well as a castrum at a place called Castellas (1st millennium BC).
With the Roman installation, many villas were built. One of them, Rudinacum, is said to have given Rognac its name. Despite centuries of decline, the Rognac site has not been abandoned. Around the year 1000, a stately castle was built and a village perched at the foot of the Castellas developed. In the middle of the 15th century, the populations of Rognac abandoned this high site to settle on the plain and around the pond
