The precise origins of Montbazens are unknown. However, rare but interesting remains suggest that its territory was inhabited during prehistory. Neolithic tools (from 5000 to 2500 BC) deposited in the departmental collections of the FENAILLE Museum in Rodez were found at the place called "Le Causse" to the west of the town.
