The commune dates back to 1896. According to Father Boniface, Rejet derives its name from the Old French word ‘Rejon’: country, region, remote place… but it also means: uncultivated land. Beaulieu is thought to be the name of a local hamlet.

The supply basins were dug due to the higher elevation of Rejet-de-Beaulieu compared
Oisy and Catillon-sur-Sambre, in order to balance the water levels upstream and downstream of the lock.
