Lordship of the Viscounts of Marseille, then of the Cuers family. By inheritance, it enters the Chabert family, a Provençal noble house. The seigniory was raised to the marquisate by Louis XV for Joseph Bernard de Chabert. In 1579, the town was sacked by the soldiers of the Comte de Carcès.

Landing of the 3rd US Infantry Division

Cogolin was liberated on August 15, 1944 at the time of the landing in Provence by the 3rd American infantry division coming by road from Cavalaire.

But the most memorable event is undoubtedly the landing of the prestigious 3rd Algerian infantry division (3rd DIA) of General de Monsabert on the beach of La Foux on August 16, 1944, which marks the return of the French army from Africa in the metropolis. De Monsabert (3rd DIA) and De Lattre (Army B) set up their headquarters in Cogolin.
