- November 19, 1984, the city changed its name to Val-de-Reuil to avoid confusions with nearby Le Vaudreuil.
- December, 1985, the dissolution of the établissement public d'aménagement, whose competences were transferred into the commune.
- 1996: Val-de-Reuil joined the communauté de communes with Louviers and Incarville.
- 2001 Val-de-Reuil became part of the Communauté d'agglomération Seine-Eure which has its principal centre in Louviers.
