Cazals

Cazals is a rural commune of 210 inhabitants located in the Aveyron Gorges, bordering the communes of Penne in the Tarn, Saint-Antonin Noble Val and Montricoux in the Tarn et Garonne.

In the 13th century, the seigneury of Cazals belonged to the House of Penne by virtue of a deed passed at Montauban on 13 June 1251. In the 15th century, either as a result of English invasions or the plague, Cazals was depopulated. Around 1440, Cazals became part of the seigneury of the Viscount of Bruniquel.

Before the creation of Tarn et Garonne, the commune of Cazals was part of the canton of Bruniquel, arrondissement of Montauban, department of Lot. After Napoleon's visit to Montauban on 28 July 1808 (when he created the Tarn et Garonne), the commune of Cazals was attached to the canton of Nègrepelisse, arrondissement of Montauban; in 1981, at the request of the town council, it was attached to the canton of Saint-Antonin Noble Val for geographical reasons.
