In 1788, this small place was part of Angers but now Brain sur l'Authion is an independant village because the tax and the constraints became so big . A new municipality was created in 1790.
In 1815, a construction aguest the flood was applicate (I can't understand this sentence). But in 1856 the tax was abolished !
In 1908 the telephone arrived, and in 1924 the electricity was etablished.
During the war in 1944, Brain sur l'Authion was bombed.
