Imperia, Liguria/Italy Established in 1923 by the merger of Porto Maurizio, Oneglia, and a few villages, the new town's name came from a stream called Impero ‘Empire’ which flows close to Oneglia. The stream was renamed in the 18th century as a result of the wars between France and the Austrian Empire.
