In 1958, roof tiles, clay pots and lead pipes were found on the site of an earlier Gallo-Roman camp that was built on an oval mound and was surrounded by ditches. It formed the basis for the construction of a bastide before 1319 by Marguerite de Montcade, Viscountess of Béarn, in response to the bastides founded in the Landes by King Edward I of England . In the census of the Béarn in 1385 29 households were counted in Montagut and it was noted that the place belonged to the Bailliage of Garos .

Until the creation of the Basses Pyrénées department during the French Revolution , Montagut was part of the Chalosse, an area that is now part of the Landes department .
