History

The name comes from Latin brucaria , heather, and of the river éponyme.

The territory of the commune is occupied since the Préhistoire, as various discoveries of cut stone tools indicate it. The site is also inhabited during the Antiquité, as the discovery of vestiges of a Gallo-Roman villa attests it on the island of Aubins (island created artificially in 1973 by the digging of a channel). The place is quoted for the first time in 797 under the name of “ Brogaria ” in a deed of gift of the count Theubald to the Abbaye of Saint-Denis.

The village depends at the 16th century on the seigniory on the Barb. In 1640, the stronghold is yielded by Louis Picot of Santeny, intendant of finances, in Gabriel de Maupeou, family whose most famous representative was Rene Nicolas Charles Augustin de Maupeou, chancellor of France in 1765. This version is cancelled by the following version: In 1587, Henri III anoblit 3 wire of Vincent Maupéou, notary in Chatelet. Her groin, Pierre 1st wife Marguerite Laisné, lady of Heap by her father, Heathers by her mother and quite naturally Bruyères enters the family and constitutes the branch of Maupeou de Bruyères. This branch is extinct in March 1794 by death with the infirmary of the prison of the Force of Angel of Maupeou.

To the 19th century, the commune primarily agricultural, and is devoted in particular to the cereal and beet field crop as with the breeding of the Mouton S. the construction of the railway in 1842 is not available to the briolins. It will be necessary to await 1891 under the impulse of its mayor - Dupont Pierre Marie - who, after rough negociations with the Compagnie of the railroads of North allowed the construction of a station. This one contributed to the prosperity of the village by allowing the easier flow of the agricultural productions and brought a progressive increase in population, especially after the Second world war.
