Bourbourg (French pronunciation: ; West Flemish: Broekburg) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France. It is situated in the maritime plain of northern France, in the middle of a triangle formed by Dunkirk, Calais, and Saint-Omer. In 1945 Bourbourg absorbed the former commune Bourbourg-Campagne. The population data given in the table and graph below for 1936 and earlier refer to Bourbourg proper, without Bourbourg-Campagne. In the second half of the 3rd century AD, the North Sea broke through the sand dunes to the Flemish coast in an event known as attributed to the second Dunkirk Transgression. Then, in the 7th century, siltation of the sea intrusion created a vast coastal swamp with some dry areas. That enabled local residents between the 7th and the 12th century to begin to use the areas resources base on the polder model. More information...
