Stresa played a significant role in Italian history, hosting the Stresa Conference in 1935, where Italy, France, and the United Kingdom discussed the rise of Nazi Germany and fascism in Europe.

The town experienced rapid growth in the 19th century due to the development of tourism and the construction of the Simplon Railway Tunnel, connecting Italy and Switzerland.
