History
Of Volscan origin, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire Isola del Liri was ruled by the Byzantines and then the Lombards. Later it was part of the Duchy of Sora, becoming a ducal seat under the Boncompagni family. In 1796 it was annexed to the Papal States.
It was once in the old Terra di Lavoro region of Campania, but was transferred into Lazio during the Fascist period.
