The name Bondy was recorded for the first time around AD 600 as Bonitiacum, meaning "estate of Bonitius", a Gallo-Roman landowner.
During the Middle Ages Bondy was primarily forest. The forest of Bondy was a well-known haunt of bandits and robbers and extremely dangerous.
On January 3, 1905, a third of the territory of Bondy was detached and became the commune of Les Pavillons-sous-Bois.
