history

The municipality has been settled for a long time. This is evidenced by the remains of a theater from the Gallo-Roman period (2nd / 3rd century). The place was first mentioned by name in 1317 under the name Arido Loco . In the Middle Ages Arleuf was fiefdom of the Seigneurie de La Tournelle and until 1789 part of the Duchy of Burgundy. The mechanization of agriculture and the lack of industry led to heavy emigration in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The community belonged to the Château-Chinon district from 1793 to 1801. In addition, from 1793 to 1801 it was the capital of the canton of Arleuf. Since 1801 the community has belonged to the canton of Château-Chinon (temporarily: Château-Chinon (Ville) ). In 1870 Arleuf ceded part of the municipality to the new municipality of Fâchin .
