Aleth was the ancient name for St-Servan and it was a regional capital in the late Roman Empire becoming the seat of a bishopric. In the 6C a Welsh monk, called MacLow, established a monastery on the nearby island of Aaron, which was later to bear his name.
With the coming of the Vikings, the population began to move from Aleth to the island which was easier to defend. Finally, in 1144 Bishop Jean de Chatillon transferred the seat of the bishopric to St-Malo and Aleth adopted another local saint, St Servan, as its patron.
With the maritime discoveries of the 15C and 16C, the importance and prosperity of St-Malo rapidly increased. In 1534, Jacques Cartier, native of Rothéneuf, set out from St-Malo to look for gold in Newfoundland and Labrador, discovering instead the St. Lawrence River. He gave the name Canada, a Huron word meaning village, to the new territory.
After the Acadians were repatriated to France following the Treaty of Paris of 1763, some Acadians were settled in St-Servan.
