[3] Cabiate borders the following municipalities: Lentate sul Seveso, Mariano Comense, Meda, Seregno.

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

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.

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