Cassina Baraggia is a hamlet of Brugherio's municipality, which until 1866 was a separate municipality.

The old farmhouses of Brugherio were agricultural structures typical of the Po-Valley in Lombardy, which gave its name to the surrounding areas as well, roughly corresponding to fractional towns in which Brugherio was divided. The union of the various small rural municipalities in which the territory was fragmented gave birth in 1866 to the municipality of Brugherio. Some are still visible: Bindellera, Casecca, Cattoni, Comolli, Dorderio, Guzzina, Increa, Modesta, Moia, Occhiate, Pareana, San Cristoforo, Sant'Ambrogio, San Paolo and Torazza.
