The department was created by Imperial Decree of 21 November 1808 with parts of the neighbouring departments of Lot (cantons of Bourg-de-Visa, Caussade, Caylus, Lafrançaise, Lauzerte, Moissac, Molières, Monclar-de-Quercy, Montauban, Montpezat-de-Quercy and Nègrepelisse), Haute-Garonne (cantons of Beaumont, Castelsarrasin, Grisolles, Montech, Saint-Nicolas, Verdun and Villebrumier), Lot-et-Garonne (cantons of Auvillar, Montaigu-de-Quercy and Valence), Gers (canton of Lavit) and Aveyron (canton of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val). The history said that the notables from Montauban were very angry not to have a department capital; the legend says that Napoléon accepted their request and immediatly outlined the new department on a map of France with his thumb.
