history
A Roman road led along today's municipal boundary to Villery. But so far no finds from this time have been made.
The current place is mentioned for the first time in 754 under the Latin name Bonavallis in a document from the Abbey of Montier-la-Celle. A first French form appears as Saint Jehan de Bonnevaulx in a document from 1328. Saint-Jean-de-Bonneval was part of the bailiwick (Bailliage) Troyes. Until the French Revolution , the municipality was in the province of Champagne . From 1793 to 1801 Saint-Jean-de-Bonneval was assigned to the Ervy district and the capital of the canton of Saint Jean de Bonneval. From 1801 to 2015, the municipality was in the canton of Bouilly and has been part of the canton of Les Riceys ever since. Saint-Jean-de-Bonneval has been part of the Troyes arrondissement since 1801. In 1908 the previously independent municipality of Prunay-Saint-Jean was incorporated.
