history
The name of the municipality first appeared in the 12th century in the forms Bolmort and Bomort according to Pierre de Marca's book Histoire de Béarn , in the same century in the copial book of the Abbey of Saint-Jean de Sorde as Bulmor , in the 13th century as Boeumort in the fors de Béarn , a collection of official texts from the Vice-County of Béarn. In the census of 1385, 26 households were counted and it was noted that the village is in the Bailliage of Pau. Further forms of the place name in the scriptures were subsequently Boomort (1505, notaries from Garos) and Boumort (1572, deeds from Cassaber ).
Since the first mention in the 12th century, several high-ranking landlords resided in Boumourt, who were present at the court of Béarn, e. B. Sans-Aner de Bomort that in the construction of the Cathedral of Lescar was involved. In the 17th century, the de Salinis family appeared, whose fief allowed them to join the Béarn estates .

After the population peaked at the beginning of the 19th century with 284 inhabitants in the 1846 census, the rural exodus began and steadily reduced the number to around a third by the 1980s. Since then, the number of residents in the community has increased by around 50% to this day.
