Böztal

Böztal is a municipality in the district of Laufenburg in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland. It was established on 1 January 2022 with the merger of the municipalities of Bözen, Effingen, Elfingen and Hornussen.

==History== In November 2009, the municipal assemblies of the five municipalities Bözen, Effingen, Elfingen, Hornussen and Zeihen west of Bözberg Pass had to decide whether to cooperate and include a merger should be examined. While Effingen, Elfingen and Zeihen agreed with large majorities at the time, Bözen and Hornussen rejected the corresponding application. A merger of only the consenting communities was not pursued.
