The place appeared as Abjac on the Cassini map issued in 1756 and 1789 . In 1864 it was renamed "Abjat-de-Nontron". The current name has existed since 1975. The name addition refers to the river Bandiat , a left tributary of the Tardoire, which drains the community .

Hydrology

geology
Abjat-sur-Bandiat lies entirely on the Variscan basement of the northwestern Massif Central . Most of the municipality is occupied by the Piégut-Pluviers-Granodiorit . It occurs mainly in its coarse-grained normal facies ( γ 3M ). In the extreme south-east there is also the Saint-Mathieu leukogranite ( γ 2M ). The contact area between the two granitoids is predominantly fine-grained. The leukogranite at Chachat and La Chapelle Verlaine contains larger enclaves of mica schists ( ξ 1 ) of the parautochthonous mica schist unit . In the south near Belle Vue and Savanat , plagioclase-bearing paragneiss ( ζ 1–2 ) are found, which are enclosed as an enclave in the granodiorite near Chabanas . The strike direction of their foliation is north. The paragneiss are higher metamorphic than the mica schists, they are located in the sillimanite facies , whereas the mica schists have only exceeded the staurolite grade .
At Le Chatenet a lamprophyre duct ( ν ) occurs, which follows the contact of the two granitoids in a north-south direction. Also microgranite transitions ( microns .gamma. ) are present, especially in the granodiorite (at Chez Gouyout , Labrousse and Rhins ). They strike northeast. The micro- granite dike at Château de l'Étang follows the contact of the granitoids towards the north-northeast. In the granodiorite there is also a quartz vein ( Q ) that strikes north of Chabanas north-northwest. Several faults run through the granodiorite with typical Variscan strike directions (NNW, N, NNE and OSE).
In the quarry of Abjat-sur-Bandiat along the right side of the valley of the Bandiat, the red facies ( a γ 3M ) of the Piégut-Pluviers granodiorite are mined and mainly processed into gravel and granulate; the gravel (grit) is a popular raw material for road and road construction because of its strong color.
The Bandiattal widens before La Roderie - the river has deposited the Holocene Alluvium ( Fz ) here .

history
The municipality is mentioned in a document in 1185 as Abjac .
