history

The area has been settled for a long time. Finds from the Gallo-Roman period have been excavated in Pont-Rod. And an old vase was found in a tumulus in the community area. In the Middle Ages there was an infirmary for lepers in Penn-Krecy. Coat-Nevenez Castle, which no longer exists today, was built in the 9th and 10th centuries. The church of Pomerit jeudi is mentioned in connection with the canonization of Saint-Yves in 1330. As early as 1444, Pommerit-Jaudy was an independent parish. Field names such as Mouster (near the Saint-Adrien chapel) and Moustéro come from the properties of the Templars and Johanniter. After the French Revolution, the area was a refuge for the insurgent royalists (called Chouans).

Population development

The former municipality already had more than 2000 inhabitants before 1800. Until 1821 the number of residents grew only slightly. In the following ten years there was a surge in growth that raised the population to more than 2500 people. Until 1881 the population stayed at over 2500 people. The historic high was in 1856. Between 1881 and 1946 there was a marked decline in population (1881-1946: -50.6%). After stabilizing until 1962, there was another wave of emigration (1962–1975: - 23.1%). The low of 958 residents in 1975 meant a drop from the high of 1856 of a whopping 64.2%. Between 1990 and 2008 there was a strong growth phase of 28.1%. The population now numbers just over 1200 people again.
