Starting in early 2019, Grosbous had intense discussions with its neighbour, Wahl, concerning a fusion of the two communes under the name Groussbus-Wal.

The majority of voters in both communes supported the fusion,[2] which took place in September 2023, after the next municipal elections in June 2023.
