History

Ceprano's origins are connected to a Roman colony founded in 328 BC on the left bank of the Liri River, called Fregellae. The ruins of the city can be seen in the nearby municipality of Arce.

Ceprano was part of the Papal States, from roughly the 6th century until 1870.

After Italian Unification and the Capture of Rome, the town was part of the Kingdom of Italy, a constitutional monarchy ruled from Rome by the House of Savoy. On 27 January 1862 the Rome-Ceprano Railroad was opened for service.

On 28 May 1944 Ceprano was liberated by Canadian troops as part of the Allies' push against German occupation.

Since 1946 Ceprano has been part of the Italian Republic.
