Formerly a mixed commune (commune mixte[fr] - an area where Europeans were present though in very small numbers) in the Algiers département of French Algeria,[1] created on 25 August 1880, Djendel incorporated the douars (tribal territories) of Djendel, Ghribs, and Oued-Telbenet.[2]
On 16 December 1905 Djendel absorbed some of the dissolved mixed commune of Hammam Righa.[3] In 1956, it was promoted by decree from a mixed commune to a commune according to the Law of 1884 and was absorbed into the département of Orléansville.[4] The commune maintained its municipal status during the restructuring of 1963, absorbing the former communes of Aïn Lechiekh and Oued Djemaâ (October 1963 for the latter).
