Heraldry
History
The town was created on April 13, 1892. Previously, Bihorel was a district of Bois-Guillaume.
On 4 July 2011, the merger of Bihorel and Bois-Guillaume was voted in the municipal councils, a merger that was effective from January 1, 2012, under the regime of the new communes, despite the consultation organized by the mayors of these two cities. There was a very large opposition from the population (66.43% opposed).
From January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013, the commune was merged with its neighbor, Bois-Guillaume, as the commune nouvelle Bois-Guillaume-Bihorel. The creation of this commune was invalidated by the administrative court of Rouen, a decision neither the prefecture or the commune appealed. The two communes were recreated on 1 January 2014.[3]
