Lignerolles has served as a rural commune in the historic Bourbonnais area since the French Revolution. On the northern margins of the Massif Central, in France's Allier department, it sits amid the low rolling farmland characteristic of this inland part of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The department was created in 1790 from much of the former Bourbonnais, a duchy ruled by the House of Bourbon, and that heritage still gives the surrounding region its name. Lignerolles provides a reference point for the everyday geography of central France, where dispersed settlements and agricultural land connect smaller communes.
