The town has ancient origins, even if these have not been clarified with absolute certainty. The name, which is derived from 'caccabe' [horse-heads], may have been given by the Carthaginians who took refuge here after their defeat at Himera in 480 BC.Different suppositions have been made on the origin of the name Caccamo anyway: from Greek kakkabe (partridge); from Latin Càcabus (kier); from Carthaginian caccabe (horse's head).
The Arabs promoted its growth in the 9th C and the Normans built the castle that made it one of the major strategic centers in Sicily.
