History

Manosque has existed since before 966 when it is first mentioned historically.^{[citation needed]} Commerce thrived in the town in the 13th century leading the population to increase to 10,000 inhabitants.^{[citation needed]} It was at this time that the city walls were constructed. They have been completely destroyed apart from a few remaining gates. The population suffered greatly starting in the 18th century due to plagues in 1720 and 1834.^{[citation needed]} Between 1950 and 1970, the town had a huge increase in population along with other areas south of the Luberon. A threefold increase in inhabitants occurred.
