History
Fabro is first mentioned in 1118 under the name Castrum Fabri in the Codice diplomatico of Orvieto. From 1272 it belonged to the Filippeschi family, who held it for approximately four centuries. In the 14th century it served as the capital of the Mandamento of Ficulle under the lordship of Boccante Monaldeschi della Vipera, tyrant of Orvieto. In the mid-19th century Fabro had a population of 1,025 inhabitants. Of these, 364 resided within the town and 661 in the surrounding countryside. Around 1870 the municipalities of Fabro and Carnaiola were united. In the 1930s Fabro Scalo developed around the railway station. It subsequently became the most populous frazione of the municipality and is characterized by commercial, artisanal, and service activities. In 1944 the town suffered severe damage during the German retreat. During the 20th century the area of Colonnetta developed near the motorway tollgate, forming a large artisanal-industrial zone.

At the time, most of the population lived in Fabro Scalo (1,447), and Fabro proper (906). The municipality also includes Poggiovalle, an administrative enclave situated within the territory of Città della Pieve.
