Cunèges, an important parish under the Old Regime, became the main town of the canton when France was divided into departments under the Constituent Assembly. It kept this title until 1830, when it was assigned to Sigoulès.
The name of the commune changed a great deal. One finds Cunea in the 13th century, Quigogium in 1363, Cuneria in 1554, Cuneia a bit later, finally Cuneja which became Cunèges. Maybe these different forms are derivatives of the Latin word cuneus which means corner. In fact, the commune is in the shape of a corner, the point directed toward the north, to the meeting of the two streams that run alongside it, the Gardonnette on the east and the Brajaud on the west.
