The province was first inhabited during the fifth century BCE, before being passed to the ownership of the Romans in 222 BCE. It then became known as Laus Pomperia in 89 BCE.[2] Allied with the Holy Roman Emperor but independent, Laus Pomperia fought against the Milanesi in the twelth century, and the city was destroyed in both 1111 and 1158. Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor had the city rebuilt near the Adda River, but the residents did not recognise this move and decided to join the anti-HRE Lombard League in 1167. The city fought against the Romans in 1176 and continued to have a number of problems with Milan until the city was conquered in 1335 by lord of Milan Azzone Visconti.[2]

It remained peaceful until it was invaded in the 1490s. The first significant Italian victory by Napoleon took place in the province on 10 May 1796, where the 5,000 men-strong forces of Napoleon defeated Austrian forces of 10,000 men. It fell under Austrian rule until the Austrians left the city in 1859 and it was ruled by Marshal Patrice de MacMahon, Duke of Magenta's French forces from 10 June 1859. It later became a part of the kingdom of Italy and became a component of the province of Milan.[2]
