Clichy-sous-Bois is not served by any motorway, major road, or railway and therefore continues to be one of the most isolated of Paris' inner suburbs. It is one of the most economically disadvantaged suburbs as well and the 2005 civil unrest and riots began there, which subsequently spread nationwide.
Flint tools from the Neolithic Europe era have been found there. Clichy en Aulnois belonged to the lords of Livry-Gargan in the early Middle Ages. Subject to the Knights Templar in the 13th century, Clichy then passed into possession of the Knights Hospitaller order. Until the 16th century, it was a hunting resort of the French kings. In the 18th century, it belonged to the Duc d'Orléans. In 1820, the village had about 150 people.
On 20 May 1869, a part of the territory of Clichy-sous-Bois was detached and merged with a part of the territory of Livry-Gargan and a small part of the territory of Gagny to create the commune of Le Raincy.
In 1870, Clichy was affected by the Franco-Prussian War.
The suburban riots of October 2005 originated in Clichy-sous-Bois after the accidental deaths of two local Muslims youths who had been escaping a police control. The riots spread to other communes of the department and then to virtually every major urban area in France.
