The party was founded in 1987 as the Movement for Tuscany (Movimento per la Toscana, MpT) and its first leader was Mario Forconi.

In February 1991 the AT was merged into Lega Nord (LN), taking the current name, and since then it has been the regional section of that party in Tuscany.

[14][15] The move was not enough for Locci, who made no return, and another group of disgruntled members, including regional councillor Marina Staccioli, who left the party to form Tuscan Identity in December.

[19][20] In October 2012 the two remaining regional councillors of the party, Antonio Gambetta Vianna and Gian Luca Lazzeri, responded to the emphasis posed by the new federal secretary Roberto Maroni on the North and the establishment of a Padanian euroregion by changing the denomination of their group from "Lega Nord Toscana" to "More Tuscany".

In the subsequent 2018 local elections the party ran well in several races, especially in Pisa and Massa where two of its members, Michele Conti and Francesco Persiani.

The founding members of the new LR were Ceccardi, Tiziana Nisini, Elisa Montemagni, Jacopo Alberti and Elena Vizzotto.

[38][39][40] Lega Nord Toscana has been one of the weakest national sections of the federal party and had received only low digits until the 2015 regional election, in which it obtained its best result so far (16.2%).
