Bondy (French pronunciation: [bɔ̃.di]) is a commune in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 10.9 km (6.8 mi) from the centre of Paris.
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 was extremely dangerous.
On 3 January 1905, a third of the territory of Bondy was detached and became the commune of Les Pavillons-sous-Bois.
On 30 October 2007, a gas explosion killed one person and injured 47 people.
Bondy and its integration into Paris is the subject of part of the second-last chapter of Graham Robb's book Parisians.
Bondy is part of the canton of Bondy, created in 2015.
Bondy is served by Bondy station on Paris RER line E and the Line 4 (T4) of the Tramways in Île-de-France.
As of 2016[update] the commune had 27 public primary schools with 6,900 students. There are also five public junior high schools and three public senior high schools.
There is a private elementary through high school, Institut privé de l'Assomption.
