Saint-Martin-de-Lixy was first mentioned in a document in 954 as beati Martini in ville Liciaco . In the 18th century it was called Saint-Martin-de-Lissy . Mario Rossi assumes that the place name comes from Gallo-Roman times (52 BC to 486 AD), is derived from the family name Liccaeus and was originally called Licciacum ('area / estate of the Liccaeus family'). The Count of Mâcon subordinated the parish of Saint-Martin-de-Lixy in 961 to the collegiate monastery of Mâcon . In the 13th century the church of Saint-Martin-de-Lixy belonged to the collegiate monastery Saint-Paul in Lyon . In the 18th century the village belonged to the castellany of the Marquisat Drée .
In 1793, Saint-Martin-de-Lixy received in the course of the French Revolution (1789–1799) under the name Lixy the status of a municipality and in 1801 through the administrative reform under Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821) under the current name the right to local self-government.
