The town originated in the early Middle Ages around a Lombard castle.

From the mid-19th century through to the mid-20th century thousands emigrated from Limosano to Canada and the United States. A large proportion of the descendants of Limosano, once counting some 3,000 inhabitants, now live in Toronto and the St. Catharines Niagara region of Ontario, Canada.
