The discovery of a bas-relief dating from the second century indicates that the occupation of the site dates back to late antiquity. The history of the town is closely linked to that of the Cistercian abbey of Bonnefont until 1565 which it depends. In 1248, the territory of Saint-Rome, a hamlet of the village, is given to the abbot of Bonnefont. The village located in the upper and dominant pathways between the Garonne and Aurignac, its location makes it a place to ford. In the 18th century., The quarrying of clay favored the development of pottery.

Built in the 12th century., The St. Michael's Church has a Romanesque apse in a cul-de-four elevated. Outside the church, a bas-relief represents a Gallo-Roman dignitary wearing a pallium.
