Originally named "Cadotte Falls", It was founded in 1875 by Robert Marriner a Pinoeer Enterpriser. Marriner named it after Jean Baptiste Cadotte, son of French Canadian fur trader Michel Cadotte in the Madeline Island area. Cadotte established a trading post on the Yellow River north of Cadott.
The town of Cadott hosts two annual music festivals known as Country Fest and Rock Fest, which have been a part of the Cadott community since 1988. The camping and concert area is located roughly eight miles outside of town. Both music festivals attract fans nationwide and include some of the top singers and bands from each genre. As a result, the events have a significant impact on the local economy.
