The name of the town is mentioned for the first time in the deed of foundation and donation of the abbey of San Quintino in Spigno (year 991) with the toponym of Ragnando.

Grognardo is dominated from above by the ruins of the ancient thousand-year-old castle.

There is information that in the sixteenth century, around the fortified building, a cluster of houses joined together with three doors at intervals, allowed, in case of danger, an easy defense of the village and its inhabitants.

In the 11th century, San Guido, bishop of Acqui, had the first church built, S. Felice, a parish church built to affirm Christianity in the countryside.

Grognardo, probably born for defensive reasons on the hill called Poggio, in the Renaissance era, by virtue of its very favorable position for trade, saw the flourishing of the current settlement mentioned in various notarial deeds as Villa del Piano.
