History edit

Giou-de-Mamou's rock has probably been inhabited since the Celtic period (megalithic remains have been found in the village).

The name Giou-de-Mamou is of ancient origins and would indicate that Jupiter (Jovis) was worshiped there.[3]

Prior to the French Revolution Giou de Mamou was part of a former province of Auvergne called Haute-Auvergne. Giou de Mamou joined the Aurillac district in 1990.[4]
