When the Japanese community system was reformed on April 1, 1889 according to the western model, the villages ( mura ) Yamasaki ( 山崎 村 ), Tanida ( 谷 田村 ), Tawaraguchi ( 俵 口 村 ), Kōmyō ( 小 明 村 ), Tsuji ( 辻 村 ) and Nabata ( 菜 畑 村 ) in the district of Heguri amalgamated to form the municipality of Kitaikoma ( 北 生 駒 村 , "Northern Ikoma"). On April 1, 1897, the districts of Heguri and Soejimo merged to form the district of Ikoma . On February 11, 1921 Ikoma was raised to a district city ( chō ). On March 10, 1955, the village of Minamiikoma ( 南 生 駒 村 , "South Ikoma") and on March 31, 1957 Kitayamato ( 北 倭 村 ) was incorporated. On November 1, 1971, Ikoma became an independent city ( shi ).
