Before becoming the important centre of transport and commerce that it is today, a development that started in 1873 when the train station was designated a point of entry for the Swiss National Railways, Chiasso was a modest rural village.
The oldest documents relating to the existence of a rural habitat, or more precisely some groups of «cassine» (a sort of habitable cow-shed) date back to 1127, when Chiasso was little more than a «suburb» of Como. It did not become an autonomous commune until 1416.
Located in an open valley and flanked by hills on both sides, Chiasso has always been a transit point for travellers. Today it owes its importance to being a customs post, which has also promoted it to the ranks of commercial and financial centres of some importance. Roman altars have been discovered in Pedrinate.
We still find some cultivated areas, primarily vineyards.
