The village was first mentioned in 1163 as Cademerio and in 1335 as Cadelmario Superiore to distinguish it from Cadelmario Inferiore, today's Bosco Luganese , which separated in 1783. The hamlets of Renera and Bogno belong to Cademario. The village of Bioggio in the valley used to be part of the municipality.

economy
For centuries, the slopes from the village down to Bioggio have been cultivated with vines. In 1990 the vineyards covered an area of 600 ares and produced 22,000 vines. In recent decades, some vineyards have had to give way to the numerous second homes that now stretch far down the slope. Only the name remains of the once cultivated Alpe Agra in the forest above the village, all buildings have disappeared. Cademario was one of the first Luganese villages to be discovered for tourism in the 1910s because of the unique panoramic position protected from the north wind, the mild climate and the all-day sunshine.

Its axis was turned to the north, a rectangular choir was added and the floor level was raised. The church was last renovated in 2004.

In 1914, the naturopathic doctor Adolf Keller built the Kurhaus Cademario, at an altitude of 850 meters in the middle of a 10,000 m² park high above the village, which at the time was the highest in the canton. Keller relied on the methods of the natural healer Arnold Rikli (1823–1906). Meat and alcohol were forbidden, but there was vegetarian diet food, herbal tea and sunbathing, fresh air gymnastics strictly separated according to sex and barefoot walks at all times of the year and day as well as baths in the unheated outdoor swimming pool, the first in the canton. The Kurhaus includes a park created by Keller with the most important cactus collection in the Canton of Ticino. In 1917 the Kurhaus was combined with the Kurhaus Monte Bré to form the Kuranstalten AG. Keller was the medical director, Max Pfenning was the economic director. In 1924/25 the Kurhaus was expanded with the addition of the west wing. Keller ran the Kurhaus until his death in 1969. The Keller family ran the house for two more generations. A modern, publicly accessible wellness center was built in the 1980s and 1990s. In 2006 it came into the possession of the Tessal SA hotel group. It was converted into a luxurious wellness hotel over a period of four years for a good 30 million francs. The building shell is still a listed building.
