History

[edit]

Saint-Gaudens has been inhabited since ancient times (traces of the Iron Age and of Roman occupation) and was originally called Mas-Saint-Pierre, before taking the name of the young shepherd,Gaudens, martyred by theVisigoths at the end of the 5th century for refusing to renounce his faith.

The town later developed around the 11th centuryRomanesque church. It was granted its city charter in 1202 and became the capital of theNébouzan area, protected by solid ramparts. As an important regional marketplace, Saint-Gaudens became the economic capital of theComminges.

The town was damaged by Protestant forces under Montgomery in 1569, and became the seat of the Nébouzan Assembly after coming under the control of the French crown in 1607. The name was changed briefly to "Mont-Unité" during the Revolution and the area later became part of the Haute-Garonne department. In 1974 it absorbed the former communeLieoux,[3] which was re-established as a separate commune in 2008.[4]
