In roman times the village hosted a miliarium marking the fifth roman mile away from the nearby city of Annecy, named "Boutae" at the time, which gave it its name "quintilius", latin for "fifth".

[4][5] In the spring of the year 1796, in order to equip the Church of the Visitation with a bell that had been destroyed during the Reign of Terror, Antoine Paccard, elected mayor in 1795, called upon an itinerant bell founder, Jean Baptiste Pitton, originally from Carouge.
