Auressio is first mentioned in 1233 as ''Oraxio'.<ref name=HDS_Auressio>{{HDS|2087|Auressio}}</ref> |

Until the 19th Century, the village had much closer ties to [[Piedmont]] than to the rest of the Onsernone valley. The construction of the road through the valley in the 19th Century brought it closer to the rest of the valley. |

The church of S. Antonio Abate was finished in 1526 and became the center of an independent [[parish]] in 1792 after it separated from Loco. |
|||
After World War II farming and grazing were almost abandoned and replaced by short-term, seasonal emigration. The improved transport links to the nearby town of [[Locarno]] increased Auressio's attractiveness as a place to live for those that were employed in Locarno. This led to a clear population increase in recent years.<ref name=HDS_Auressio/> |

One notable building in Auressio is the Villa Edera, which was built in 1887, for the [[Paris]] [[impresario]] Paolo Antonio Calzonio. It was restored in the early 1990s by the municipality and is now used as a hostel.<ref name=HDS_Auressio/> |
