From the 11th century onwards, Benedictine monks created a monastery on a promontory, La Mouthe and agricultural establishments - La Cella = Lasalle.
Having converted early to Protestantism, Lasalle was the cradle of the preachers of the Reformation who held the first assemblies of the Desert as early as January 1686.

Several silk mills, now disused or converted, bear witness to its rich industrial past.
