History

During the the Middle Ages, the village was included in the Fief Seigneur S of Gayte, as prove it the stone terminals found in edge of the village.

In the middle of the XIXe century, the Clermontoise Middle-class as well as the curists of the Thermal spa of Royat is reflected to produce a strong quantity of dirty linen, and the clear Eau X of the Source Saint-Martial de Nohanent were channeled into many Lavoir S. the commune was then called " City of Lavandières" , lavender fields being the name given to the washing machines, because of their use of gasoline of Lavender to scent the linen. The village thrived until the medium of the XXe century, date on which the arrival of the washing machine made the work of the washing machines obsolete. Lastly, throughout second half of the XXe century, Nohanent will approach Clermont-Ferrand, being assimilated little by little to the suburbs of the middle-classes of the city. This bringing together was finally concretized when Nohanent joined Clermont Communauté in 1993.
