History

Berc was created in 1877 from the communes of Arcomie, La Fage-Saint-Julien and Termes. ^[1] On 1 January 1973, it merged with two communes, Arcomie and Le Bacon, to form the new commune named Les Monts-Verts. ^{[1] [2]} It then took the status of associated commune which it retained until 17 July 1990 when the simple merger was replaced by the merger-association (prefectural decree of 17 July 1990). ^[2]

The town was known at the beginning of the twentieth century for its artisanal production of sabots. ^[3]
