history
The place was first mentioned when Saint-Yves was canonized in 1330 (as Hengoet ). Various feudal lords are mentioned in the Middle Ages. Charles-Guillaume de Trolond, Count of Le Rumain, comes from the municipality. He was the leader of the Chouans (royalist insurgents after 1789) in the Lannion region. On the night of September 1st to 2nd, 1882, a cruelly trimmed corpse (gagged, strangled and crucified) was found.
Population development
The former municipality was never one of the most populous places in the region. Nevertheless, there was a marked surge in growth between 1793 and 1821 (1793–1821: + 38.4%). The first wave of emigration occurred in the following ten years. A second and final growth period lasted from 1831 to the highest population level of 1851 (1831–1851: + 20.2%). Then a long period of emigration began, which was only stopped in 1999 (1851–1999: -81.7%). After a brief growth spurt until 2004, the number of residents has leveled off at 210 people.
