"Paul Raymond note que la baronnie de Lescun était l'une des grandes baronnies de Béarn, et qu'elle dépendait, tout comme l'abbaye laïque de Lescun, de la vicomté de Béarn.
En 1385, Lescun comptait 63 feux et dépendait du bailliage d'Aspe.
Le 7 septembre 1794 vit à Lescun la victoire des Béarnais sur l'Espagne, durant le conflit armé commencé en 1793."


"L'économie de la commune est essentiellement orientée vers l'agriculture (bovins et ovins). La transformation du lait en fromage reste dominante et l'élevage de troupeaux mixtes (vache, brebis) permet la production d'un produit fermier rare aujourd'hui : le fromage mixte18. Le territoire de la commune compose une partie de la zone de production de l'appellation ossau-iraty, protégée via le label AOC.

C'est aussi un lieu prisé par les randonneurs et amoureux de beaux paysages : chambres d'hôte, gîtes et camping complètent les ressources. On peut aussi y faire du ski de fond en hiver.

Une partie de l'entreprise Toyal Europe est implantée dans la commune de Lescun (à 4 km plus bas que le village)."
