The first mention attesting to the existence of Lentilly dates back to 975. Then, the traces of the Castle of Cruzols are found in 1340. In the 16th century, Lentilly underwent the wars of religion before being hit, between 1629 and 1633, by the return of the plague. The current town square was formed around the castle from the early eighteenth century, before continuing during the nineteenth century. More than a dozen middle-class houses were built from the 19th century. These houses, some of which are still visible, were often built by rich Lyonnais silk manufacturers, merchants or notaries.
