== History == thumb|250px|left|In 1927 the watering trough and the semicircular basin which occupied the crossroads of the two main roads disappeared and were replaced by the Monument to the Dead of the War of 1914–1918, which marked the town center of Marengo Hadjout. In 1848, the village was named Marengo. In 1958, the commune became part of the department of Alger. After Algerian independence, it was renamed Hadjout.
