The popular, unofficial name of the community is "La Chapelotte" ( German  Small Chapel ) and refers to a barn that was made available by a family in the village and redesigned as a chapel in a neighborhood. In 1854 the parish became independent and the chapel was recognized as an official parish church. In 1888, Haut-de-Bosdarros split off as an independent municipality. The Gest river forms the border to this day. A folklore group from Haut-de-Bosdarros calls themselves “La Chapelotte” to remember the history of the chapel.
