History The hamlet of Corbère started growing in population from the 16th century onwards, and was combined with the neighbouring territory of Corbère-les-Cabanes. However, in the 19th century, the neighbouring population of Corbère-les-Cabanes believed that it was now big enough to be its own separate commune, and on May 14 1856, Corbère and Corbère-les-Cabanes split.Jean-Pierre Pélissier, Paroisses et communes de France : dictionnaire d'histoire administrative et démographique, vol. 66 : Pyrénées-Orientales, Paris, CNRS, 1986 Fabricio Cardenas, Vieux papiers des Pyrénées-Orientales, Création de Corbère-les-Cabanes en 1856, 14 May 2015
