- His history :
- The existence of a village implantation Vitrolles-en-Lubéron is attested from antiquity. It was located on the communication path connecting the Aigues and the Durance valley Cereste. The Castellas rock overlooking the village to the west, probably served oppidum Gallo-Roman. A "castrum" existed in the eleventh century.
- Abandoned during the fifteenth century, the village relives through the Housing Act granted in March 1503 by the Left Count de Brancas, lord of Vitrolles to 9 families, allowing them to resettle in Vitrolles.
- Village farmers living modestly in difficult territory, Vitrolles experienced the vicissitudes of history by being spared the destruction.
- To avoid confusion with his namesake of Bouches-du-Rhône, the town took the name of Vitrolles-en-Lubéron since 1996, having been called Vitrolles Aigues eighteenth century.
- The origins of the village:
- The name of the town originates from the Latin "vitrolea" (glassware). If this site has not yet been identified, by cons at the foot of Castellas, the presence of numerous remains of Roman flat tiles suggests that Villa had to find this place.
- Although different from its namesake Bouches du Rhone, the village appears in the eleventh century on the hill of Castellas with the aim of taking a toll on the road linking Aix en Provence in Forcalquier.
