An ordinance, passed in 1895 and adopted in 1896, resulted in the creation of the "Town of Quatre Bornes" Now covering an area of over twenty thousand square kilometres, Quatre Bornes is linked by roads to the north, east, south and west. From the "Old Quatre Bornes" to the "Cybercity", the town of Quatre Bornes is at the same time residential, commercial, and industrial. The name "Quatre Bornes" probably owes its name to a map drawn by Descubes in 1880, in which he set the boundary stones (bornes) of Palma, Bassin, Trianon, and Beau Séjour. One historian suggested that the "bornes" rather delimited the three districts of Plaine Wilhems, Moka and Rivière Noire. It is also claimed that in 1761 two land owners, Mr Mabille and Mr Desveaux were having land problems. Their case was referred to as "Le cas des Quatre Bornes". W. Edward, in 1921, explained that four boundary stones used to delimit the intersections between the roads crossing Vacoas and Bassin/Palma, and La Louise and the Balisage separating the land property of La Louise, and Beau Séjour. Some also claim that Quatre Bornes owes its name to a "commune" in France.
