Probably inhabited since prehistoric times, named "Daeliae Insula" by the Romans, then "Sancti Stephani Tinænsis" at the beginning of the Christian era, Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée does have a history. It was annexed to France in 1860, and people lived there in seclusion because of the difficult connections with the neighboring valleys and the coast. From 1900, the widening of the roads and the advent of the automobile allowed the village to develop, but a dramatic fire destroyed it in 1929. Half of the village was destroyed and it owed its rebirth only to a subscription launched to all the communes which was at the origin of the launching of the station of Auron.
