A former stronghold of the Gévaudan, Saugues grew in the 12th century under the authority of the Bishops of Mende and the Lords of Mercœur. A fire in 1788 destroyed most of the town's historical centre.
It is in the mountains around and near Saugues that the famous beast of Gévaudan is said to have originated.
