Diverse le interpretazioni sull'origine del nome: secondo alcuni occorre far riferimento ad un ponte sull'Adda strategicamente importante; altri sostengono che un attraversamento obbligato si sarebbe invece trovato sul torrente Ron; altri ancora citano il romano Pontum e, infine, una diffusa spiegazione ricorre al longobardo "biunte". Certamente abitato in epoca romana, risulta dai documenti che il borgo assunse fisionomia autonoma dopo l'anno 1000, periodo in cui importanti nuclei familiari vi immigrarono da Como. Tra essi le famiglie Quadrio, sotto il cui controllo il prestigio di Ponte andò progressivamente accrescendosi e rafforzandosi.
