At the hands of the Carthusian monks of La Verne and other religious orders who settled in the vicinity of La Londe, the land was developed from the Middle Ages onwards into vast agricultural estates, which were succeeded by large middle-class estates at the time of the French Revolution.
These origins explain the presence of numerous wine cellars in the commune.
This religious omnipresence led to a limited, widely dispersed population and settlement pattern until 1788.
