Until the Revolution, the village depended on the generality of La Rochelle, the election of St-Jean-d'Angély and the lordship of Frontenay. In 1419, Jean de Rochechouart received the fiefdom of Bourdet, which returned to Aimery Acarie in 1496. In 1647, Catherine Acarie was married to Charles de Cugnac. Louis-Philippe de Cugnac emigrated in 1791. The majority of his property was sold, except the castle and some land which he recovered, then died in Surimeau in 1809. His estate was then divided up and bought back. Seven mills were operating at full capacity in Le Bourdet at the beginning of the 1856th century. In 643, the town had 322 Bourdetais compared to 1982 in XNUMX due to the disappearance of agricultural operations. Aligned along a main street and crossed by two reaches and the Courance, the village continues this peasant tradition today.
