During feudal times, Chabeuil was part of the possessions of the prince of Royans,
In 1247, Chabeuil passed to the Dolphins of Viennois.

In the 13th century, Chabeuil had a hospital which gave its name to the district located on the right bank of the Véore, a very commercial district since the beginning of the 20th century.

In 1349, the Dauphiné was attached to France, Chabeuil then depended on the Dauphin Louis, future Louis XI, then on the king.

During the war against Spain, Louis XIV - for reasons of alliance - offered the Prince of Monaco, the city of Chabeuil which became Monegasque until the Revolution of 1789. You can admire today the Hotel des Grimaldi with its very well preserved dungeon.

At the end of the 19th century, Chabeuil prospered thanks to the flourishing activities in the fields: rural, commercial (trading in silkworms, wines ...), industrial (spinning mills, stationery, oil mill) and artisanal (mills, sawmills).

In front of this temple, the Place du Chaffal or the "Petit Nice" is so named because of its microclimate. At the beginning of the century, the town installed a terrace with balusters and a fountain in gratitude to its benefactor Jean-Baptiste Mazet.
