history
Bacourt was first mentioned in 1018 as Badascort in the copial book of the cathedral of Metz . In the Middle Ages it belonged to the Barony of Viviers and the Marquisate of Pont-à-Mousson . In the 13th century Bacourt was the seat of a Seigneurie of the Bacourt family.
In 1698 Bacourt belonged to the Bailliage (court) of Pont-à-Mousson , which in turn belonged to the Duchy of Bar , from 1751 it belonged to the newly founded Bailliage of Château-Salins .
In 1793 Bacourt received in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government. From 1801 to 1871 it belonged to the former Meurthe department , which was renamed the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in 1871 . In 1871 the community was incorporated into the newly created realm of Alsace-Lorraine of the German Empire due to changes in territory due to the course of the Franco-German War (1870–1871) . The realm of Alsace-Lorraine existed until the end of the First World War (1914–1918) and was then dissolved. Bacourt was in the Moselle department at that time, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was again assigned to France. As a French-speaking town, Bacourt was one of the last 247 communities whose name was Germanized on September 2, 1915. The name was changed to "Badenhofen" and was the official place name until 1918.
