History
Until the beginning of the XIX century Lamot-Beuvron was called La Mothe-sur-Beuvron, this name was derived from the medieval embankment - mott , on the bank of the Beuvron river (Beuvron is translated from Celtic - "beaver river"). There was a castle on the embankment, but nothing was left of it. Until the 18th century, the village belonged to Wooson , a commune 5 kilometers from Lamoth-Beuvron. The village became an independent parish in 1703, but the administrative and tax dependency remained - at that time Lamot-Beuvron and Vouzon were organized into the community of Vouzon-Lamot. Only in 1792 the commune was recognized as a separate city.
