Many Celtic remains suggest that Montbouy was one of the Boii main towns until 1,500 years B.C.. At that time they came under pressure from the Belgae in the north and the Vascones in the south; consequently they left their territory in the Gâtinais around Montargis between the Loing river and the Rimarde riverThis area includes such town names as Boësses, Boynes or Bouilly. and, accompanied with some Lingones and Senones they went south to found Bolonia in North Italy. After they left their territory was occupied by the Senones and the Carnutes.{{in lang|fr}} Boutet de Monvel Eugène, [http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k57319606/f149.image Nouvelle étude sur les ruines celtiques et gallo-romaines de la commune de Triguères].
