history
The place is mentioned for the first time in the 9th century on the occasion of the founding of the Abbey of Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre by the Duke of Gascony . Bernadets is mentioned around 1030 in the copial book of this abbey according to Pierre de Marca's book Histoire de Béarn as Bernedet . In the 11th century, Bernadets of Saint-Castin was feudal . In the census of 1385 10 households in Bernadeg were counted and it was noted that the village is in the Bailliage of Pau. Further toponyms were subsequently Bernadegx (1402, renewed census in the Béarn), Bernadetz (1538, Reformation of Béarn). The municipality is entered as Bernadets on the map of Cassini in 1750 .
Population development
Up to the 1930s the level of the population was around 200. As a result, the number of residents fell until the 1960s, when it more than tripled in the following years, benefiting from the proximity of the main town of the department.
