History

The territory of Jouars-Pontchartrain is inhabited since highest Antiquité. Vestiges dating from the Neolithic were found at the time of the building site of the deviation of the RN 12.

The site of the farm of Ithe, located at the edge of Mauldre and at the west of the hamlet of Jouars, but on the communal territory of Tremblay-on-Mauldre, corresponds to an old Gallo-Roman agglomeration of the name of Diodurum or Divo durum . Thereafter, the agglomeration developed higher along the road coming from Neauphle-the-Castle, before declining durably from.

The development of the borough of Pontchartrain is related to the deviation at the 17th century of the road of Paris with Dreux which passed before by Neauphle-the-Castle. The purpose of this deviation was decided by the count de Maurepas, then owner of the castle and was to facilitate the traffic by avoiding the dangerous rise towards the hillock of Neauphle. Thereafter, the borough thrived according to circulation on this important road of the kingdom.
