history

The defense-oriented appearance of the parish church, built in the Middle Ages , testifies to the conflicts that raged in the region. Like many other communities in the Landes, the Huguenot Wars hit Bourdalat hard in the 16th century. From 1639 to Bourdalat belonged to the lordship of Poyanne . The landlords were in the service of the French king for a long time and were very influential. The landlords certainly owned many pieces of land, and probably for this reason there were many small tenants in 1651. This also explains the boom in viticulture at that time. At the beginning of the 20th century, Bourdalat turned to viticulture and the production of Armagnacs .

After a peak in the number of inhabitants of around 655 in the middle of the 19th century, the number fell to around 185 after several brief recovery phases by the 1990s, before the size of the community increased moderately.
