Once owned by the deanery of Dol, Saint-Pierre-de-Plesguen developed around the 11th century. Erected in the city in its own right during the French Revolution, the city was famous at the time for its many revolutionary celebrations, like the one celebrating the anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI. It was long known for its Newfoundland activity, which fed most of the population. The last great fishermen disappeared in the 1970s.
