history
The name Bondy is mentioned for the first time around 600 as Bonitacium . It is derived from Bonitius, a Gallo-Roman landowner. The town used to be covered by the Bondy Forest, which was home to many muggers.
On January 3, 1905, a third of the area was separated and the municipality of Les Pavillons-sous-Bois was formed.
Bondy was still a village in the 1950s. At the beginning of the 1960s, the number of residents grew rapidly, when large housing estates in prefabricated construction were built in the municipality , in which many socially disadvantaged families settled, and since the 1970s also immigrants from the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa .
