Pederobba's transit characteristic prevailed through the ages, and the roads feature numerous places of worship facing the roads to provide evidence to modernity of the historical passage of pilgrims, ancient through medieval, through its land. The first documentation referencing Pederobba (and including Onigo, and Covolo) dates to the early Middle Ages., with reference in 1000 to establishment of the Church of Pederobba, and Pederobba as the seat for parish churches. In 1152, Pope Eugene II confirmed the parish of Plebem de Petrarubea. In 1283, the Municipality of Treviso split the area into 4 districts: (1) Pederobba and (2) Visna di Pederobba into the "Dom" district, and (3) Onigo and (4) Covolo into the "Oltrecagnan" district.

In 1646, Venice sold the lands to the Onigo and Pisani families, who became feudal lords. Pederobba was linked closely to the Onigo family, who resided in a castle near the homonymous hamlet.

. The Austrians took with them much of Pederobba's resources and wealth. The Unification also tore down feudal land systems, but this gave rise to subsistence farming to the new landowners. Resultingly, hunger and poverty prevailed, leading to the first great Italian diaspora. The Pederobbesi immigrants of this wave primarily emigrated to South and North America, and although many returned with wealth to provide for their families, many determined to remain and sent for their families to follow and relocate to these new worlds.
