The territory was historically part of the medieval seigneury system connecting to the Kingdom of France and parish structures of the Diocese of Paris, with manorial ties to families that featured in the Ancien Régime and events like the French Revolution. Industrial and suburban expansion accelerated in the 19th century with links to the development of the Chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans and municipal reforms under the Third Republic; 20th-century changes involved wartime occupations related to World War I and World War II and postwar reconstruction associated with the Fourth Republic and the Trente Glorieuses.
