History
Toulouges probably grew upon a Roman villa. It was first mentioned in 904 at the same time mentioning the church called Tulogias. Other names that are presumably Toulouges are Tologis (in a 937 document), Tulujes (1027), Tuluges (1030), Toluges (1119).
Toulouges hosted an ecumenical council known as the Council of Elge-Toulouges in 1027. It aimed to promote peace among the feudal lords of France by declaring the Truce of God,[5] attempting to limit the days of the week and times of year that the nobility could engage in violence.
During the 14th and 15th centuries Toulouges grew rapidly. A wall[6] and hospital were in existence. In 1628, however, part of the population was killed by a plague. Today,[when?] though, Toulouges is again growing rapidly.[7]
