Le monastère de Fontgombault fut fondé en 1091 par Pierre de l'Étoile, avec des ermites qui vivaient dans les environs. L'abbaye fut fermée en 1742. À partir de 1849, une communauté de moines cisterciens y vécut jusqu'en 1905. En 1948, le monastère fut restauré par un groupe de moines venus de Saint-Pierre de Solesmes.

There were so many vocations that Fontgombault had to found new monasteries. As the American novices needed to get a solid formation, the project to found in America was put off for many years, but not forgotten.
Beginning in 1991, Dom Antoine Forgeot, abbot of Notre-Dame de Fontgombault Abbey began to make exploratory trips to the United States, accompanied by Dom Francis Bethel. After visiting many sites in several states and after many hesitations, a property was found in 1998, in the diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma, that struck the abbot and many others as very well suited for the American foundation. It was a ranch located along Clear Creek. The idea was approved by the Chapter of the French abbey and on the feast of the Assumption of that same year 1998, a charter was signed between the abbot of Fontgombault and the bishop of Tulsa formally recognizing the existence of the new foundation.
