The history of Saint-Germain-Lembron dates back to
Gallo-Roman times when a town designated as the Liziniat (Liziniacus) appearing in some ancient writings, the latter being located on-site or near the present village. One of three churches dedicated to
St. Germain was built here and, the town was home to a community of canons from the second half of the
10th century, finally gave its name to the town, as already attested to the Merovingian vicus. From the
14th century, Saint-Germain-Lembron ranks among the thirteen good towns of Lower Auvergne. During the
revolutionary period of the
National Convention (1792-1795), the town took the name of Liziniac-Lembron. ==Politics==
