Garbagna Novarese borders the following municipalities: Nibbiola, Novara, Sozzago, Terdobbiate, and Trecate.
It was mentioned for the first time in various documents dating back to between 840 and 1150, as Carpania. By the linguistic phenomena of lenition[3] and first-type anaphonesis,[4] since 1150 also names Garbania and Garbagna began to be used, while since 1367 only the latter has remained.[5][6]
On 31 May 1863 it was officially renamed from Garbagna to Garbagna Novarese,[7] to distinguish it from Garbagna d'Alessandria. Curiously, in some official documents it is repeatedly called Garbagno.[8][9]
