[edit] History
Vaudreuil was one of the new nine new towns created in France in the beginning of the 1970s.
- June 1972, creation of the Établissement Public d'Aménagement of the new town of Vaudreuil.
- December 1972, creation of the Ensemble Urbain du Vaudreuil which includes communes including Vaudreuil. The population do not depend on any more of the communes but a statute carried out many disputes.
- 28 September 1981, to answer the disputes, the Ensemble Urbain became a commune whose creation cut down Incarville, Léry, Porte-Joie, Poses, Saint-Étienne-du-Vauvray, Saint-Pierre-du-Vauvray, Tournedos-sur-Seine and Le Vaudreuil and was Le Vaudreuil-Ex Ensemble Urbain.
- 19 November 1984, the city changed its name to Val-de-Reuil to avoid confusions with nearby Le Vaudreuil.
- December, 1985, the dissolution of the établissement public d'aménagement, whose competences were transferred into the commune.
- 1996: Val-de-Reuil joined the communauté de communes with Louviers and Incarville.
- 2001 Val-de-Reuil became part of the Communauté d'agglomération Seine-Eure which has its principal centre in Louviers.
