history

The area must have been continuously settled for a very long time, because an earthen vessel with coins with images of Roman emperors was found near a dolmen from prehistory in 1851 . In the Middle Ages , Boisse was a noble retreat, which had a certain importance due to its geographical location on the crest of a hill. In the 16th century the castellany belonged to the Escodéca family, who ruled the village until the 17th century. In the following century, the fief went to the de la Force family. The construction of two windmills subsequently allowed the economy to develop.

Between 1790 and 1794, the parishes of Le Petit Boisse and Saint Amand de Boisse were incorporated into the municipality of Boisse.
