Two authenticated Coast Miwok villages existed near Ignacio: Puyuku (south of the town) and Shotokmo-cha (to the southeast).[2]

During the 1840s and 1850s, Ignacio was part of Rancho San Jose, a 6,659.25-acre (2,695 ha) land grant which Governor Alvarado awarded to Ignacio Pacheco. After Igancio died in 1864, his estate was divided among his heirs.[3][4]
