Physical geography

History

The name of the town comes from the word claveato. The final ending in -ate underlines a probable Lombard foundation. [5]

First historical reference about the origin of the town comes from 745, when a document identifies it with the name Vico Capiete. [6]

The town grew around a castle. The original position of the town was beside Terò creek, the small river which flows in the center of Cabiate.

The history of Cabiate is linked to the nearby Meda and to the Brianza. Before 1024 a huge number of Cabiatesi depended on the monastery San Vittore in Meda (which was part of the Pieve di Mariano Comense), which at any rate, thanks to the abbess Allegrezza, gave the power to Giacomo da Rho, founder of the family da Rho, who would have built a residence in Cabiate.

In the subsequent years, the history of this area was linked to Milan, and, from 1535, to the Spanish Empire. The town was turned to the Marliani family, then, in 1538, to the Giussani, then the Taverna, coming back to the Marliani and then in 1643 to Inverigo's Crivelli.

Three centuries later, the Duchy of Milan finally passed to the Austrians who replaced a wood bridge over Terò with one of masonry.

During the World War II the Germans passed through Cabiate during their retreat to Como. After April 25, 1945 three people were killed having been accused of being fascists.
