Presinge includes the hamlets of Cara and La Louvière. Occupied since Roman times, it was part of the Comtes de Genève and later the House of Savoy.
In 1792, it became French, then joined the canton of Geneva in 1816. Divided in 1851 due to disputes with Puplinge, it remains mostly rural.
The St. Félix Church, built in the Romanesque style, was first mentioned in 1304 and has been expanded and restored over the centuries.
