In 989, one identifies Bazoge-Montpinçon with the “ Villa Basilgeacum ” a city given by Robert of Blois to the Abbaye of Evron. “ Ecciesia de Bazogla Montepinsonis ” in 1125, Parrochia de Monte Picsonis in 1252, in 1503, the village takes the name of Basouge de Montpinczon, or Montpinçzon in 1503. The parish of Bazoche-Montpinçon, not far from Mayenne bore one moment (at least at the beginning of 17th S.) the name of " Small-Bazoche " : " the Smallone of Montpinson " (1601, Cab. Leblanc), " Of Square Bazochiis-soubs-Montpinçon " (1609, Insinuations eccl.). It is still called Montpuçon in 1715, the parish seems to have adopted its current name, in 1789.

In 1125, during the reign of Hildebert, the church of Bazoge Montpinçon was thus a dependence of the Abbaye of Evron. Thereafter, it was to cease being it but the monks preserved still a long time rights in Bazoge and, in 1474, they always gave to lease, with very long run, the smallholding of Martinaie.

In 1408, Brisegaud of Arglantiers received his/her mother, Jeanne Voyer, “ the stronghold and féage of Montpinçon ” which could preserve its manor of XVIe century. The field was probably sold by Christophe of Arglantiers with Sebastien Roland, sior of Beauchêne, in 1552.
