History

Camp-du-Maréchal was a colonial village created in lower Kabylia, became Tadmaït in 1963, just after the independence of Algeria On 14 June 1830, French troops land at Sidi-Ferruch, and enter Algiers on 5 July. About ten years later, Marshal Bugeaud decided to conquer Kabylia. He occupies Bordj Menaiel, 66 kilometers east of Algiers. Then he heads north and occupied Dellys, a coastal town founded during the Turkish presence. When returning from Dellys, going up the Sebaou, he enter the plain of Tadmaït that he occupies. The indigenous population takes refuge at Mount Sidi Ali Bounab and is divided into Thouddar (hamlets). The marshal established a large camp in preparation for the occupation of the rest of Kabylia. West of the camp (about 6 kilometers), a center is founded by the Society for the protection of Alsatians-Lorrainers remained French (founded in 1871) presided by Count Joseph d'Haussonville. Since 1873, 33 families have settled. At the site of the camp is founded in 1879 a village which will bear the name of the marshal (Marshal Randon). Taking advantage of the experience, it is, of all the Alsatian villages, the most successful. It's immediately equipped with all the basic infrastructure: town hall, post office, school, church built by native workers. The village is designed only for the needs of settlers and the colonial administration. The fertile lands watered by the Sebaou, are exploited in the same way as the workers who work from sunrise to sunset. That's why the settlers ask to be grouped near the village so that they are more efficient. This is how Tadmaït was born, a group of makeshift dwelling 100 metres high in the village. Other infrastructures are set up such as the college and the dispensary managed by Les soeurs Blanches, railways…
