The village was first mentioned in 1289 as Brixago. [6] The place name is probably derived from the Latin personal name Briccius.
In the 13th century Brissago became an imperial municipality with its own village law, its own community leaders (consoli), its own administration and its own jurisdiction. The Podestà was initially appointed by the Milanese Visconti and from 1342 to 1798 provided by the Locarnes noble family Orelli. In 1520, Brissago declared itself an independent republic, but submitted to the rule of the twelve federal towns the following year, while maintaining a large degree of autonomy.
