The Nacono were a Native American tribe from eastern Texas.[1]
The Nacono were part of the Hasinai branch of the Caddo Confederacy.[2] They historically lived in villages along the Neches and Angelina Rivers, near present day Cherokee and Houston Counties.
Early 18th century Spanish explorer Domingo Ramón recorded his observations of the Nocono in his 1716 Diary. He observed that the tribe lived near the San Francisco de los Neches Mission.[3] Another Spanish explorer, Juan Antonio de la Pena wrote in 1721 that the Nacono village, that he called El Macono, was located five leagues below the Neches crossing.[4]
The tribe is also known as the Naconish,[2] Macono, Naconome, and Nocono.[3] The Lacane, Nacachau, Nacao (Nacau), Naconicho (Nacaniche), and Nakanawan peoples might have been divisions of the Nacono tribe.[5]
