Le petit mont dans la vallée, the small mountain in the valley. That is what the name of Le Poët-Laval means. In the Middle Ages, the fate of the village was closely linked to the Order of Malta. The religious connection became a problem with the Reformation. Conflicts arose between Catholics and Protestants. In the end, Protestants had to choose between giving up their religion and moving away. They chose the latter, as religion was more important. This started a trend in the history of Le Poët-Laval. Depopulation occurred. A further wave began around 1850. The second district of Gougne in the valley on the Jabron experienced a boom. The train station was also located there. The old village center gradually fell into disrepair. It was not until the 20th century that the trend reversed. The old town became an artists' colony. This, and the founding of the Association des Amis du Vieux Poët-Laval, the Friends of Old Poët-Laval, brought new life and the preservation of the old town.
