The name of Rances is apparently derived from a Roman family name, but the exact form of the name has been forgotten. The most dramatic event of its history occurred in 1548, when the village was almost entirely destroyed by an accidental fire.
Rances has an area, as of 2009, of 9.8 square kilometers . Of this area, 5.9 km2 or 60.0% is used for agricultural purposes, while 3.41 km2 or 34.7% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.49 km2 or 5.0% is settled and 0.04 km2 or 0.4% is unproductive land.
