Aveyron is a department in southern France named after the Aveyron River. It is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790.
The first known historical inhabitants of the region were the Rutenii tribe, but the area was inhabited previously to this, and it has many prehistoric ruins.
The highest point in the department is the summit of Mailhebuau at 1469 m (Plateau of Aubrac).
