Protected from the prevailing westerly winds, its water level seems to have been frequented since Roman times. Many currencies, remains of dwellings, or tombs excavated, suggests that this ancient town pauca could be positioned on the map of Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD.

In the early 16th century, this modest call (dependent Pieve Fozzano), empty dwellings and residents due to insecurity Barbary welcomed ships from loading Ajaccians Bonifacio or wheat, barley and Oil Plain di A Miscellany (now called Tavaria). On June 12, 1564, two ships from landing in Provence, with their board Sampiero Corso and 70 of his companions, eager to remove the Corsica from the Genoese.

1767 at the request of Pasquale Paoli, one raises an important turn, Torra Nova helpful to the defense of that portion of the coast. Then, Propriano will accelerate its development between 1838 and 1845, with the construction of the first pier of 150 m on the rocks Scogliu Longu.

The development of the road from Ajaccio to the entire south of the island will allow the port of Propriano gradually supplanting that of Tizzano. Disenclosed, the city received June 28, 1860, by the grace of Napoleon III, his separation from his Fozzano and communal autonomy. In 2010, Propriano thus celebrates its 150th anniversary. With its commercial port with two piers and wharf alongside, it becomes the late 19th century a focal point for steamboats.

With the development of tourism in the late 1950s, the city of Valinco with its beaches, coves, leisure activities, is a famous seaside resort.
