The village was first mentioned in 1220 as Vienne. The village was a heerlijkheid (landed estate) initially controlled by the lords of Viena and ultimately changed hands to the family De Blondel de Beauregard. In 1962, the municipality was enlarged with the hamlets Donkerstraat and Haie-de-Viane.[2] In 1977, the municipality merged into Geraardsbergen.[3] The village has become mainly a commuter village.[2]
