The town was founded in 1248 from the union of the three castles of Agello, Leone and Marrubbione. It was named after "almond" (in local dialect "mannola"), which indicates both the fruit and the tree. The tree was admired locally and it seems it was also a symbol of the dominating hill top location overlooking the beautiful scenery of the Sibillini Mountains to the west.

In 568-570 Amandola was invaded by the Goths, then by the Lombards.
