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.[3][4]
