History

In the late 1700s or early 1800s Jean Baptiste Cadotte, son of French Canadian fur trader Michel Cadotte of the Madeline Island area, established a trading post on the Yellow River near modern Cadott.

In 1865 the village at the current site was founded by Robert Marriner, who built a dam and sawmill on the river and platted the town. Marriner named it “Cadotte Falls” after the earlier trading post.

On July 21, 2020, a tornado hit the north side of the village. It damaged structures, but did not injure anybody.
