Although the new constitution dates from 1999as a result of the merger of the Parish and of the Village of Saint-Flavien, the area has been settled since 1800. The original territory of Saint-Flavien, part of the seigneurie of Sainte-Croix, was split several times for the creation of the communities of Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur-d'Issoudun (1903), Dosquet (1912), the Village of Saint-Flavien (1912), Saint-Janvier-de-Joly (1928), and Laurier-Station (1951).
