Waters
L'Isle-Bouzon is located in the catchment area of the Garonne River .
The Arrats , one of its left tributaries, forms the natural border with the neighboring municipality of Gramont to the east. The Auroue , another left tributary of the Garonne, crosses the territory of the municipality from south to north.
history
Several traces of settlement in Gallo-Roman times have come to light over the centuries.
Around the middle of the 11th century, a settlement was founded on a bend in one of the Auroue in what is now the hamlet of Corné in what is now the municipality. It was probably abandoned due to a flood between 1250 and 1260. The population moved to a higher place on the edge of the limestone plateau above the Auroue valley. The Castelnau was founded and quickly divided into plots. A Castelnau ( German Neuburg , Occitan castèl nòu , in Vulgar Latin castellum novum ) is a village or town that was founded near a castle in the Middle Ages . The village also had a city wall. It belongs to the Vicomté of Lomagne. From the 16th century, the Castelnau seems to have gradually depopulated in favor of the formation of hamlets in the area.
Population development
After records began, the population rose to a peak of around 1,005 at the beginning of the 19th century. In the period that followed, the size of the community fell to its lowest level of 230 inhabitants, with temporary recovery phases, before it stabilized at a level of around 245 inhabitants.
