The village is the site of the Gallic city of Pictavorum prior to the Roman Empire's domination of this part of Western Gaul (France).[3] and called Fines later on in the roman period.

There are over 3 Ingrandes in the region, and over 100 towns, villages or locality called Ingrandes or other toponyms.[4]
