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.

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.
