History
The village was mentioned in a 1700 Venetian text by Grimani under the name "Licomati di Nexero" (Λυκομάτι Νεζερού) and had 129 inhabitants.[3][4] After the Greek War of Independence, it became part of the municipality of Nezera in 1835. That municipality was dissolved in 1841 and Lakkomata became part of the municipality of Fares. It became an independent community in 1912. In 1997 under the Kapodistrias reform, it became part of the municipality of Farres, which became part of the municipality of Erymanthos in 2011.[5]
