Abstract: The author proves the Poincar\'e lemma on some $(n+1)$-dimensional corank 1 sub-Riemannian structures, formulating the $\frac{(n-1)n(n^2+3n-2)}{8}$ necessarily and sufficiently ``curl-vanishing'' compatibility conditions. In particular, this result solves partially an open problem formulated by Calin and Chang. The proof in this paper is based on a Poincar\'e lemma stated on Riemannian manifolds and a suitable Ces\`aro-Volterra path integral formula established in local coordinates. As a byproduct, a Saint-Venant lemma is also provided on generic Riemannian manifolds. Some examples are presented on the hyperbolic space and Carnot/Heisenberg groups.
