The land was owned by the House of Borromeo of San Miniato in the 14th century and possibly earlier.
 Peschiera Borromeo's main attraction is the Borromeo Castle, built in 1437 by Vitaliano Borromeo.
 The Borromei were, during the later years of the Ambrosian Republic, pro-Francesco Sforza, and housed him in the castle while he besieged Milan in 1450.
 In 1461 Sforza, now the Duke of Milan, made Filippo Borromeo the Conte di Peschiera.

Peschiera was made a comune in 1863, and, partly distinguish it from Peschiera del Garda and partially to honor the Borromeo Family, it was given the full name Peschiera Borromeo.
