On July 13, 1815, at Pont-de-l'Isle, there was a skirmish between royalists and imperial troops. The parish was part of the Broons district from 1793 to 1801. It was also part of the canton of Caulnes from 1793 to 1801, then from 1801 to 1881 of the canton of Saint-Jouan-de-l'Ille and from 1881 to 2015 of the canton of Caulnes . Since 1801, Saint-Jouan-de-l'Isle has been administratively part of the Arrondissement of Dinan.
