Djendel (formerly Lavigerie during the period of French colonization) is a commune in the Aïn Defla wilaya in northern Algeria, located 110 km southwest of Algiers, 40 km east of Aïn Defla, and 30 km southwest of Médéa.

History

Formerly a mixed commune (commune mixte - an area where Europeans were present though in very small numbers) in the Algiers département of French Algeria, created on 25 August 1880, Djendel incorporated the douars (tribal territories) of Djendel, Ghribs, and Oued-Telbenet.

On 16 December 1905 Djendel absorbed some of the dissolved mixed commune of Hammam Righa. 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. 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).

In 1893, during the colonization period, the city was named Lavigerie in honor of Charles Martial Allemand Lavigerie. After independence, the commune was renamed Djendel by decree no. 65-246 of 30 September 1965.
