Geography

History

The commune of Doazit delivered old traces of human occupation, in cut the flint shape dating, for a share, paleolithic inferior.

Certain vestiges could go back to times more recent but difficult to define precisely. One indeed finds in Doazit three works of ground fortifications: the camp of Driven (pregnant of ground), the tuco of Castera (barred spur) and the borough (barred spur); these structures just as easily being able to be protohistoric that medieval. With the Middle Ages, lords of Doazit (whose Donati Garciae de Donagello which gave its name to the village), resided in a wood castle located on the feudal mound. It is with the foot of this “tarré” (slope) that, about 1300, the inhabitants gathered in a Castelnau built on the barred spur of the borough.

In XIIe century was built the church Midsummer's Day d' Aulès which was the seat of the archpriest of Chalosse (diocese of Surface) until the Legal settlement of 1801. The Saint Martin's day church of Driven was regarded as its appendix. As for the church Notre-Dame, old vault of borough rested by Roger de Viella in 1463, it will become parish church only in 1801. To XVe century, the baronnie of Doazit passes to the hands Foix-Candale which made build, at the end of XVIe century, the current castle of Candale.

A chronicler of the village, Henry de Laborde-Péboué, who lived at the XVIIe century, tells us the big events of this disturbed time, in particular the Sling or the revolt of Invisible against the gabelle one.

If the culture of the vine and the share-cropping marked the economy of the village formerly, it is today the culture of the corn which dominates, as in many communes of Chalosse. On the level of the craft industry, Doazit is characterized by the presence from several companies from frame. Is it necessary to see there the permanence of a tradition and a know-how inherited the important community of Gézitains present at Doazit at the XVIIe century?
