Cabiate is far:
The name of the town come from the word claveato. The final ending in -ate underlines a probable lombard foundation.
First historical news received about the origin of the town come from 745, when a document identifies it with the name Vico Capiete.
Primarily the town grew around a castle which was the center of the activities. 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 particularly linked to the near Meda and to the Brianza. Before 1024 a huge number of cabiatesi depended from 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, which in Cabiate will subsequently built a residence.
In subsequent years, the history of this area was linked to Milan lords, who in 1535 passed their power to Spanish. The town was turned to Marliani family, then, in 1538, to Giussani, then Taverna, coming back to Marliani and, in the end, in 1643 to Inverigo's Crivelli.
Three centuries later, the Duchy of Milan finally passed to the Austrians who, on a local administrative level, built the bridge by masonry over Terò, which were previously by wood.
During the World War II the German crossed in Cabiate, in order to retire towards Como. After April 25 three people were killed because of were accused to be fascists.
