 In 2007, "Aigrefeuille d'Aunis" was the 19th largest urban unit of the Charente-Maritime.This small town has undergone profound changes in the urban landscape since the end of World War II and continues to evolve even though it still retains a certain cachet of a large rural village.At the end of the Second World War, "Aigrefeuille d'Aunis" was still a small rural town and the town was in a rebuilding phase, having been heavily bombed during military assaults in the La Rochelle pocket to clear the region of the occupiers.
