At the end of the XIXth century, the site of Abesse is one of the largest metallurgical centers of the Landes. It was managed in a special way by the masters of the ironworks of the time, the Boulart family who had installed a paternalistic system that allowed good relations with employees. There were over 200 workers working there.
