The territory of the Val di Cecina has been inhabited since the Palaeolithic as evidenced by findings in numerous burial sites in Cecina and Volterra. This area was in fact developed thanks to its minerals and to iron. Between the seventh and fifth centuries BC, the Etruscan civilization lived in these places and exploited the copper mines. Volterra and Populonia were its main centers. In the Middle Ages many towns and
castles were built and fortified, including Riparbella, Montescudaio, Bibbona and various
Benedictine monasteries were built. With the Florentines the area grew even more, mainly due to iron, timber and livestock. The Lorena sold the territory to
Senator Ginori that began its reclamation. The Lorena built and diverted major roads such as the Via Aurelia, allowing to reach the Val di Cecina more easily.
