History

By 1900 Cadolive was a district of Saint- Savournin. Nevertheless, the village already had a degree of independence: it boasted a school, a post office, a church and a cemetery. The church is named after St. Lazarus ( Saint- Lazare ), was built in 1851 and 1854 raised to the parish. About the church tower there is a clock tower, which was replaced in 1908. Since 1867, a well secured the water supply of the town. 1894 opened a post office in the village. A year later opened the first public school. Since 1879 there had been a private girls school. 1902 was the first mayor, Albert Armand, built at his expense the town hall. In the same year was behind the town hall, a small clinic to help mothers at birth. In 1909, the street lighting was introduced in 1911 and created the forerunner of public toilets. Cadolive was, as well as its neighboring towns, strongly influenced by mining. The first mayor, Albert Armand, possessed a mine in the municipality of Peypin. It was closed in 1954.
