Vallière has a Gallo-Roman origin. His name Vallaria came from vallis.

The Gallo-Roman cemetery of St Bonnet, on the borders of the commune of Vallière and Saint-Yriex-la-Montagne, attests to the reality of Roman colonization.

In 626, Vallaria appears in a share of land in Royère. A monetary workshop existed there at the end of the seventh century.

In Xe century, Vallière becomes the chief place of an important Vicar. The single agglomeration soon understood two parishes and shared two churches; Vallière, which still remains and St-Séverin, whose church was sold in 1825 and demolished in 1828.

Under Henry III, in March 1576, the church of Vallière was sacked by the reverts of the Duke of Alençon, brother of the King.

Two fires destroyed on January 4, 1676, more than fifty houses, and in the night of May 19 and 20, 1716, seventeen dwellings. October 21, 1761 finally, Vallière who had been troubled by many meetings between gabelous and fake-salt, saw the rest of the band Mandrin.
