The 1385 census counted 22 households in Baleixs and it was noted that the settlement is in the Bailliage of Pau. Further forms of the place name in the scriptures were subsequently: Balesie (census, 1402), Baleyxs and Balechs (1538), Balex ( Reformation of Béarn, 1548). The municipality is entered as Baleix on the map of Cassini in 1750 .

Traces of two fortified camps, called Castet Mayou and Turocq de Naudy , prove an early settlement. 1096 the texts mention the liege lord Ramon Esius de Ballier, who also owned a lay monastery . Throughout the Middle Ages , the village was dependent on the powerful Commandery of the Order of St. John of Caubin and Morlaàs . In 1382 the village was set on fire by Jean II , Count of Armagnac's troops . As can be seen from the results of the census three years later, the village was quickly rebuilt.
