Until 1789 the municipality was part of the Bailliage de Chaumont within the royal province of Champagne . The incorporated place Beaucharmoy was part of the Bailliage de la Marche in the Barrois mouvant region . The mechanization of agriculture led to heavy emigration in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Le Châtelet-sur-Meuse belonged to the Bourbonne district from 1793 to 1801. In addition to the canton of Pernot from 1793 to 1801 and to the canton of Bourbonne-les-Bains since 1801 .
