history

During the reorganization of the territories during the French Revolution , the new municipality was named Freche. Between 1790 and 1794 the municipality of Goussiés was annexed to the municipality of Freche. In 1801 the municipality was given the name Le Frèche, and from 1962 the current name Le Frêche.

Le Frêche had a stop on the railway line of the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Midi , which connected Mont-de-Marsan with Nérac in the Lot-et-Garonne department . The last section from Mézin to Mont-de-Marsan was opened on December 12, 1897. Due to a lack of profitability, passenger traffic on the non-electrified, single-lane route was discontinued in 1938, and finally freight traffic in 1969.

Population development
