History
The toponym was referred, until 1887, to the old town, partly destroyed and abandoned after an earthquake. To distinguish the new village from the old one of Bussana Vecchia, Bussana is also named Bussana Nuova (New Bussana). It was an autonomous comune until April 1928, when it was absorbed by Sanremo municipality.
A Roman villa is located near the village, by the estuary of river Armea.
