history

In the Middle Ages, Hachan-de-Bas (Faissan at that time) and Lagarde Noble were located in Kastlanei Moncassin within the county of Astarac in the historic Gascon region and shared their fate. Both communities belonged to the Mirande district and the canton of Masseube from 1793 to 1801. Since 1801, both original municipalities have been assigned to the Arrondissement of Mirande and belonged to the Canton of Mirande from 1793 to 2015 . In 1822 the municipalities of Hachan-de-Bas (1821: 67 inhabitants) and Lagarde Noble (1821: 158 inhabitants) merged to form today's municipality.
