The community started with a few families settling in the area more than 100 years ago. The village got its name from its physical characteristic of having several streams passing through the village. In Northern Thai language, the stream or river is called “Nam Mae.”  And also, there is the native flower (locally called “Dok Kam Pong”) growing along these streams. Thus, the village’s name is a combination of the names of the stream and native flower.

According to the village’s elderly, the early settlers migrated from Doi Saket district, the nearby district in Chiang Mai province, to search for land for the forest-tea orchard cultivation. The reason for migration was the scarcity of cultivated area in their original villages. After the development of the settlement, the Khamu hill ethnic group also migrated to this area as wage laborers in forest-tea orchard farming.  Later this group assimilated into the Northern Thai culture.
