The municipality was formed in 1927 to encompass the previously separate centres of Laveno, Mombello and Cerro. The Roman general Titus Labienus, who gave the name to the main town of Laveno, is considered responsible for naming Mombello too, after a battle with the Gauls ("mons belli" means "war hill"). In the 19th Century, Laveno Mombello was home to important ceramic industries. Today, it is a port town that connects the province of Varese with Verbania and the famous Borromean Islands across Lake Maggiore.

Laveno-Mombello borders the following municipalities: Caravate, Castelveccana, Cittiglio, Ghiffa, Leggiuno, Sangiano, Stresa, Verbania.
