The origins of Bibbianos can hardly be determined: Settlements from the Stone Age can be proven, a permanent settlement probably only existed in Roman antiquity, which may have been called Vibianus or Baebianus fundus and denoted a fertile area.

In the summer of 2019, the city was shaken by a child trafficking scandal.
