History

Cimadera is first mentioned in 1422 as cima d'Era.^[1] The village was originally an alpine herding camp for the inhabitants of Treciore which was part of the town of Sonvico. After the plague of 1525, they settled there permanently. In the 16th Century it belonged to the Kastlanei and parish of Sonvico.^[1] In 1878 the municipality was created when it separated from Sonvico to become an independent municipality and parish.^[2]

The chapel of St. Anthony of Padua, dates from the 17th Century, while the prayer house of S. Maria ed Elisabetta or della Visitazione is from 1670.

The income of the village was dominated by farming and cattle breeding, but was supplemented by income from seasonal emigration. The decline of agriculture and the urbanization of the villages surrounding Lugano, since the beginning of the 20th Century, have depopulated the town. Many houses have been converted into to second or vacation homes.^[1]
