==History== Cimadera is first mentioned in 1422 as ''cima d'Era. The village was originally an alpine herding camp for the inhabitants of the village 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. In 1878 the municipality was created when it separated from Sonvico to become an independent municipality and parish.
