The administrative headquarters are in Morcenx.

A Roman road led from Burdigala ( Bordeaux ) to Aquae Tarbellicae ( Dax ) near today's municipality in the heart of a moorland. It was named Antoninus Street after the Roman emperor Caracalla (188-217) with his official emperor name Marcus Aurel (l) ius Severus Antoninus. Although the Church Sanctus Matinus de Garros of the 12th century on the map of churches Diocese of Dax was listed, made by the initial mention of the village in the records until the year 1274. Garrosse was the seat of a small manorial system , based on a moth was built . She was under the barony of Brassenx headquartered in Arjuzanx that the English King Henry III. belonged to. Garrosse was sold on May 7, 1274 by the lady Douce Le Parquer, daughter of the knight Jean Le Parqueran, to his successor Edward I for "four livre and 10 Mars sterling". In the period that followed, Garrosse developed a forest-based economy that replaced traditional sheep farming that was widespread in the region. The extraction of tree sap and wood processing was successful until the beginning of the 20th century. Attempts were made several times to incorporate Garrosse into the neighboring community of Sindères, but the French interior minister gave his final veto on May 4, 1844 and the community has remained independent to this day.

A bell tower with a vestibule was added to the south-western corner of the church and a side aisle in the north with a length of three bays , which opens to the main nave by means of arched arcades . New window openings were also created and the roofs repaired. In 1990 the ceiling of the nave was renewed, around 2005 the helmet of the bell tower. The sacristy adjoins the choir to the south.
