The discovery of two vases cinerari (preserved nell'Antiquarium the Palazzo Comunale) reported human presence in a period between the ninth and the eighth century BC. Between the third and the first century BC formed numerous inhabited (generally small) dedicated mainly to agricultural activity and that craft. The area, known for the famous archaeological discovery of the tomb nineteenth wagon bronze dating from the second half of the sixth century BC subdued, four centuries later, a strong development process probably in relation to growing demand for travertine used for the production of the polls, cippi funeral, but especially for the construction of urban city of Perugia.

It attempts to conquer Corciano, but the city defends itself valiantly and puts fleeing troops of Arm. The Magistrates perugini, as compensation for the heroic defence, esentarono Corciano from any fee for five years. But arm does not stop: After 120 castles in the conquered territory Perugia, back to Corciano that can not withstand a new siege, spontaneously opens doors.
In the XIV century Corciano passed, as almost all of Umbria, into the State of the Church and became feud of the Dukes of Corgna who had their residence in the Palazzo Comunale.
