Nonkon is a small town and commune in the Cercle of Kolokani in the Koulikoro Region of south-western Mali. As of 2010 the commune (made of 20 villages) had a population of 9987.
==History== The people of Nonkon trace their ancestry to N’Tontji Diarra, originally from Koblé, near Gouni on the right bank of the Niger River, opposite Koulikoro. In a fit of anger, N’Tontji killed the dog of his master and had to flee. He crossed the river with a friend and they were welcomed in Bélédougou by the village chief of Korian. They first established N’Tontjibougou and later settled in a secluded valley founding the village of Nonkon.
