Historical population movements
Since the first known census in 1793, the population has slowly increased until it passed the threshold of 1000 inhabitants around the 1840s. From 1840 until the beginning of the First World War, the population remained stable at around 1000. Then, between the census of 1911 and 1921, the number of inhabitants fell from 1002 to 924. It increased again until it reached its highest level in 1931, with 1180 inhabitants. The next census, carried out in 1946, one year after the end of the Second World War, again recorded a significant drop in population, to 912. It was not until the 1968 census that the number of inhabitants passed the 1000 mark again. It was not until 2007 that a real demographic growth could be recorded, with the population rising from 998 inhabitants in 1999 to 1306 in 2007 and 1512 in 2017.
We can clearly see how the Two World Wars took their death tool on Bouvesse Quirieu with the decrease of 1921 and 1946 censuses. However, it is interesting to note that the Napoleonic Wars, which happened between 1803 and 1805 apparently didn't impacted number of inhabitants of Bouvesse-Quirieu; quite the opposite in fact, population increased by +0.83% between 1800 and 1821.
Geography
Situation and description
Bouvesse-Quirieu is a modest rural commune situated in a hilly region. The village stands at an altitude of 220 m and is located about 30 km north-east of Bourgoin-Jallieu, in the northern part of the Isère department.
Geology
The "Oxfordian siliceous sponges of the Bouvesse quarry" are a remarkable geological site of 55.12 hectares located in the communes of Bouvesse-Quirieu and Montalieu-Vercieu. In 2014, this formation of bedded limestone of palaeontological interest was classified as "two stars" in the "Inventory of Geological Heritage".
Neighbouring municipalities
Bouvesse-Quirieu is bordered by Montalieu-Vercieu, Charette, Courtenay and Creys-Mépieu, in Isère, and by Briord, Montagnieu and Serrières-de-Briord on the other side of the Rhône, in the Ain department.
Climate
The northern part of the department of Isère is made up of plains with a temperate climate and low plateaus and hills with a slightly harsher climate. Due to the low relief, air masses from the north and south circulate easily.
The territory also experiences a lot of persistent fog in the most rural areas in the Rhone valley, as well as in the water areas surrounding the towns and various hamlets.
