Origins of the name
editThe toponym originates from the patron saint of the fraction of Mazzoleni,[4] which composes the commune together with Cepino, Selino Alto, Selino Basso, and Valsecca.
The commune of Sant'Omobono Imagna was constituted in 1927 with the aggregation of the communes of Mazzoleni and Falghera, Cepino and Selino. Thanks to a regional law of August 2004, the name was changed from Sant'Omobono Imagna to Sant'Omobono Terme.
