According to the tradition in the early 11th century a condottiere named Malleano or Majano established here his castle, originally a walled citadel with 6 towers, of which only two extant. Another tradition explains the origin of the name as derived from the ancient Roman family called Manlii. Magliano was under the rule of Fermo until the annexation of Marches to the Italian Kingdom in 1860.
