History

During the Middle Ages, Bondy was mostly forest, and the forest of Bondy was a well-known haunt of bandits and robbers and was considered extremely dangerous.

On 3 January 1905, a third of the territory of Bondy was detached and became the commune of Les Pavillons-sous-Bois.

The current Hôtel de Ville was completed in 1969.{{cite web|url=https://www.histoiredebondy.fr/construction-de-lhotel-de-ville/ |title=La construction de l'Hôtel de Ville|publisher=Bondy son Chêne et ses Racines|access-date=15 April 2025}}

On 30 October 2007, a gas explosion killed one person and injured 47 people.
