Historical development

The community association was created in 2014 through the merger of the predecessor organizations

• Communauté de communes Delta Sèvre Argent
• Communauté de communes Cœur de Bocage
• Communauté de communes Terre de Sèvre and
• Communauté de communes de l'Argentonnais (partially).

With effect from January 1, 2016, the communes nouvelles were formed by amalgamating formerly independent communities

• Argentonnay (from Argenton-les-Vallées + La Chapelle-Gaudin + La Coudre + Le Breuil-sous-Argenton + Moutiers-sous-Argenton + Ulcot ) and
• Saint Maurice Étusson (from Saint-Maurice-la-Fougereuse + Étusson )

founded. This reduced the number of member communities to 38.

With effect from January 1, 2019, the former municipalities of Moncoutant , Le Breuil-Bernard , La Chapelle-Saint-Étienne , Moutiers-sous-Chantemerle and Saint-Jouin-de-Milly became part of the Commune nouvelle Moncoutant-sur-Sèvre . This reduced the number of member communities to 33.
