On 28 March 944 Hugues, son or Bermund, Lord of Bouligneux and Gisèle, signed a document renouncing any claims on Thoissey, in favor of Adémar, Viscount of Lyon.[3]
In 1280, it belonged to Vaucher de Commarin, who sold it to Henri de Villars in 1290.
In 1402, Bouligneux was part of Bresse Savoyarde.
In the 17th century, Bouligneux was a county.
