History
The village of Acquate, consisting of an urban center and its church, is attested still in 1232 and was part of Lecco within the Duchy of Milan.
In Napoleonic era, in 1809, Acquate became a frazione of Lecco, taking again its autonomy with the constitution of the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia in 1815.
At the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, Acquate had 1,481 inhabitants, and 2,421 in 1921. It was downgraded and attached to Lecco in 1923.
