During the Middle Ages, Torigni was a lordship (seigneur de Torigny) within the Duchy of Normandy. Margaret of Burgundy sold it to Pierre the Fat, chamberlain of Philip IV, for 9500 livres tournois^[2] (about 768 kg or 1,700 lb of fine silver). It was also the home of the 12th-century chronicler Robert of Torigni.

On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Torigny-les-Villes.^[3]
