History
The village was created at the end of the 11th century, above the Moricone hill, to find a larger building space than that of the nearby village of Catino, founded in the 7th century, and nowadays a hamlet of it. The toponym itself describes the topography of the built-up area: a hillock (poggio) above a basin (catino). Once under the sway of Farfa Abbey, it later became part of the Province of Perugia, after the Italian unification (1861). Since 1927, with the creation of the province of Rieti, Poggio Catino, as well as the rest of the new province, passed from the region of Umbria to the one of Lazio.{{in lang|it}} [http://www.sabina.it/comuni/pogcatino.html Historical info about Poggio Catino on sabina.it]
