history

Unlike the other communities in the arrondissement of Château-Gontier, Beaumont-Pied-de-Bœuf did not belong to the historic province of Anjou , but to Maine . In 1793 the community was still called Beaumont , before it was renamed Beaumont-Pied-de-Bœuf in 1801 to make it easier to distinguish between it, although there was already a community called Beaumont-Pied-de-Bœuf in the neighboring Sarthe department.
