Wikipedia, Sept. 11, 2014 (Rouergue; Occitan: Roergue; a former province of France, bounded on the north by Auvergne, on the south and southwest by Languedoc, on the east by Gévaudan and on the west by Quercy. Its historical capital was Rodez. Rouergue became a department in 1790 and was renamed Aveyron, after the principal river flowing through it. Upon creation of the department of Tarn-et-Garonne in 1808, the canton of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val was detached from the western extremity of Aveyron and transferred to the new department)
