history

In prehistoric times, the area between Mont Ventoux and the fertile plain was criss-crossed by important drift paths ( transhumance routes) that were used by herds in summer. An important sanctuary seems to have existed here under Roman colonization, as three altars of a Gallo-Roman temple were found in the quarters of Côtes and Bariane . They were each dedicated to the nymph Carinnæ, Sucellus , the Celtic god with a mallet, and Mars Albarinus .

At the time of the Avignon Popes in the first half of the 14th century, Saint-Hippolyte-le-Graveyron was enfeoffed by Cardinal Hugues Roger . 1376 Councils decided Saint-Hippolyte and Barroux a land swap to form two fiefs. The fief of Saint-Hippolyte fell to the Baux family in 1401 (first to Alix des Baux , then by inheritance to Guillaume des Baux ). Étienne de Vesc , lord of Caromb , acquired it in 1488 and added it to the lands of Caromb under the name of Saint-Hippolyte-lès-Caromb .

The parish was formed on October 12, 1790 , while at the same time separating from Caromb . At first it was only called Saint-Hippolyte . In 1918 it took the name Saint-Hippolyte-le-Graveron , and in 1986 it was finally given its current name.
