VI.History
The history of the city is inseparable from that of Bazas, about fifteen kilometers to the south, an important military and religious center from Antiquity until the eighteenth century, of which Langon is the port on the Garonne, competing for a time with that from Bordeaux. Taking advantage of its privileged location around a bend in the river, at the confluence with the Brion, Langon becomes a market town, on the road between Bordeaux and Agen. It has two parishes from the twelfth century, Notre-Dame and Saint-Gervais, forming two towns of which the city is the reunion. For more information on the situation of the commune in the 18th century, see the work by Jacques Baurein.
During the Revolution, the parish of Saint-Gervais de Langon formed the commune of Langon.
Langon was marked by the vine, which made its wealth as a port, at the crossroads of the Graves vineyard and that of Sauternes. The town itself is on the territory of Graves. While Bazas entered a relative decline from the eighteenth century, losing its diocese after the Revolution, its tribunal de grande instance in the twentieth century, and a good part of its crafts, Langon experienced a commercial and industrial boom. In 1926, the districts of Bazas and La Réole merged with that of Langon, and it was Langon, slightly more populatedNote 1, which took over the sub-prefecture.
Culturally, Langon is located in the Gascon area. The name of the city in Occitan is Lengon (pronounced Lengoun). It is part of the historic region of Bazadais..
