Cabot (/ˈkæbət/ KA-bət), officially the Great City of Cabot, is the provincial capital of the province of Henria. It is the largest city in Henria, the second-largest city in Insulamia, and the eleventh-largest in North America, with a population of 1,618,545 as of the last census in 2020. Cabot is located in the county of Greater Cabot in the south of Insulamia, on the coast of the Channel of Glass. Residents of the city are referred to as "Cabotians".

Archaeological findings suggest that the area around what is now Cabot had been inhabited by Arctic peoples since at least 3,800 years ago, but these peoples are believed to have only lived there for brief periods. Since the 13th century, the Inuit peoples of the Miuts and the Anuans have inhabited the region. John Cabot's third and final voyage in 1498 for England was the first European voyage to arrive in the Channel of Glass area, where they found precious metals such as gold and silver. Subsequently, England would begin sending merchants to trade with the indigenous peoples to obtain these metals, and they eventually settled a permanent colony, Henria, in the region. The Premiervoyage captained by William Weston was the first voyage to bring English settlers to the colony, landing on 23 February 1501. In the Whitecastle Conference of 1888, Cabot was chosen to be the capital of the newly-formed Commonwealth of Insulamia, and it held that role until the capital was moved to Whitecastle in 1951.

Cabot is a multicultural city, with 51% of its population being first-or-second-generation immigrants. It is consistently ranked among the most liveable cities in the world while also among the cheapest cities to live in in the developed world. The city is a centre for research, education, and the arts in Insulamia, with strengths in medicine, theatre, and music. It is home to the Riddlepark, the home grounds of the Insulamia national football team, and several of the world's leading universities, including the Royal Insulamian University in Cabot. Cabot has hosted several major international events, including the 1969 World Expo and the 1986 Commonwealth Games, as well as hosting portions of the 1999 Rugby World Cup and the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Name

Main article: Name of Cabot

The city of Cabot is named after John Cabot, the Italian explorer who discovered the area. It was initially referred to as "Henria", after King Henry VII; but as the colony grew beyond the confines of the city, there became an increasing need to distinguish between it and the dominion as a whole. Historical evidence suggests that the name Henria Toune ("Henria Town") became colloquially adopted in the late 16th century for that purpose. In 1603, the town was renamed to its present name, both to avoid confusion and to honour John Cabot.
