It was founded in 1193 by statute of the
comune of
Brescia, as a boundary fortress with the name of "Orci Novi". Its history thenceforth closely follows that of Brescia, sharing the
Venetian dominion from 1466 until Venice's demise in 1797. It became part of
Napoleon's Italian states until 1815, when it became part of the
Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, as part of the
Austrian Empire. This continued until the
Second Italian Independence War. From 1860 it has been part of the
Italy/
Kingdom of Italy. In the 2010s, Orzinuovi was involved in an illicit traffic of solid toxic
waste treatment which concerns the bordering
municipalities. ==
