Capioma, a hamlet of Nemaha county, is located in Capioma township 15 miles southeast of Seneca, the county seat, and 9 miles south of Sabetha, from which place it receives mail. It is one of the historic places in the county, having been platted in 1857. This plat was not recorded until two years later for the reason that there was no place to record anything in those early days. A school building was put up in 1857, and a hotel in 1859. The place was named after an Indian chief. The population in 1910 was 45.
