History

At first, Cabano was called Poste du Lac or Fort Ingall. It became Saint-Mathias-de-Cabano in 1907, then the municipal village of Cabano in 1923, and finally, the city of Cabano in 1962.

On May 9, 1950, a major fire destroyed 125 houses in the city.{{cite web | url=https://www.infodimanche.com/actualites/actualite/392822/il-y-a-70-ans-cabano-brulait | title=Il y a 70 ans, Cabano brûlait | publisher=Info-Dimanche | date=May 9, 2020 | access-date=October 28, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221028034425/https://www.infodimanche.com/actualites/actualite/392822/il-y-a-70-ans-cabano-brulait | archive-date=October 28, 2022}}
