One thinks that the name of Nono was taken from a very important cacique in this region, since it is a name common in previous dialect to the one of the Incas.
It was a road center by which the old inhabitants of the zone of the northwest of the province of Pichincha journeyed necessarily; Yumbos, Nihuas and Tihuas before the invasion Inca. The Colonial and Republican time one became one of the few roads of connection with the subtropical zones like Pacto, Gualea and Nanegal.
In year 1.660 it was elevated as ecclesiastical parish pertaining to the bishopric of Quito. In that sector pertaining to the city of SAN FRANCISCO OF QUITO; the Jesus Company tape worm several bottoms dedicated to the agricultural production and the pasturing of ewes.

The counted under its protection an important human contingent that they worked in these state, to which was necessary to Christianizing and to educate: and it was essential to give ecclesiastical function and position of agent him for which the parochial church was constructed.
It is possible to write down that the Jesuit Parents describe in some, documents the serious problems, caused in the eruptions of the Guagua Pichincha, and the measures that they had to take to resist the consequences of the mud flows and ash rain that finished by far won ovine.
San Miguel de Nono was constituted like rural parish in 1.720, jointly with Mindo and Zámbiza, being these the older rural parishes of the Quito.
At first, this civil parish was satisfied to the great properties of the zone like Verde Cocha; San Luis, La Campiña , San Jose, La Escalera, San Miguel, Alambi, Chiquilpe, Alaspungo, among others.
Pedro Vicente Maldonado drew up in 1.720 the Quito-Esmeraldas road being NONO San Miguel was the initial camping for the project.
With the organisation of the territory where the Spanish conquest, Nono was delivered to a Spanish, who took indigenous from the place and near places for the work and service of his property the capitalist, development in the land of Ecuador, he announced with the abolition of the precarious work and soon, the laws of the Agrarian reform in 1.964-1.973. Its found Pichincha RICCHARIMUI, branch of the ECUARUNARI that organized to the indigenous communities and farmers of the province of Pichincha to demand the fulfilment of the agrarian reform. They managed to legalize the earth that now is NONO; by they were not able to implement the agrarian reform in all the properties, the fight was hard and the process was unfinished because the lack of organization of communities. Only some huasipungeros received small earth extension in a Alaspungo, Alambí and Catzuqui de Moncayo.
The problem of NONO is the lack of roads, because the way is in badly been and harms the commerce.
