The territory of Riparbella has become autonomous community in 1755 and in 1892 showed a decrease of the territory.
The country went through donations from the secular and ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Pisa. The territory has never been heavily populated due to the unhealthy climate, and so farming has never taken a strong momentum. The population had a significant increase only in the nineteenth century, from 682 to 2,518.
