History
In 1178, the castle of Rocha Forcha was built by the bishops of the diocese of Die as a stronghold against the Holy Roman Emperors. It belonged to French lords until the year 1766 when the last one, Lord Rey de Noinville, died. In 1796, a French trader, Pierre Jossaud bought the land surrounding the castle and renamed it Rochefourchat. The commune has been passed down through Jossaud's family.

There is only one permanent inhabitant. This does not, however, make Rochefourchat the least populous French commune, as there are six communes without any inhabitant: they were destroyed and abandoned during World War I, and maintained as administrative subdivisions for memorial reasons.
Aside from this, there are no male populations, and the commune's population only composed of one female population.
