Shaped by its geographical features and human endeavors. Originally inhabited by Nisenan and Plains Miwok Native American tribes, the area saw Spanish exploration in the late 18th century. The name "Natomas" itself derives from a corruption of "Natome," the name of a local Native American village. In the mid-19th century, European settlers arrived, drawn by fertile land for agriculture and the development of the Sacramento River for transportation. However, Natomas truly began to thrive in the late 20th century with suburban development, spurred by its proximity to Sacramento and the completion of flood control measures. Today, Natomas stands as a bustling suburban community, blending its agricultural roots with modern residential, commercial, and recreational amenities.
