The village was first mentioned in 1237 under the then name Poleccio / Puletio . At the beginning of the 13th century Pollegio belonged to vicinia Giornico, in 1329 to degagna Symbola or vicinia Symora; in the 16th century it formed a vicinia together with Bodio and Personico . Today it is an independent local civil parish.

In Pollegio the Uri took the war oath before the Battle of Arbedo , and from here the Confederates sent on November 14th. 1478 the Duke of Milan declared war. The village was devastated by the Duke's troops in the same year. After the Battle of Giornico , the fallen were buried in Pollegio, where the Swiss built a church in honor of the innocent children, which was enlarged after 1570.

In 1622, Cardinal Federico Borromeo , fully committed to the Tridentine spirit of his cousin Karl Borromeo , had a seminary built on the site of the hospital built by the humiliate (mentioned 1210–1236, called a monastery from 1326).
