In the 15th century, a village called Oued Zerga was erected by the Beni Mehenna.
In 1838 after the conquest of Constantine, several French generals went there to go down to Stora and built forts there. The resistance is led by Si Zerdoud who will be killed on March 3, 1842. From 1845, some colonial houses are installed in the place of the village Oued Zerga which will be renamed Saint Charles on April 6, 1847. In 1861 the village is erected as a commune full exercise.
