Alicoto was originally home to the chief of the Wayampis.[1] The Wayampis in French Guiana traditionally had very little contact with the outside world,[2] but in the 1940s, captain Eugène, the chief, did allow visits to Saint-Georges to purchase salt.[1] In 1949, the population was 30,[1] however the village was abandoned in 1971.Template:Sfn The village was resettled by 2016 as Alikoto Tapele.Template:Sfn

The village is at an important point in the Oyapock River, where there is a waterfall in the river.[3] The 1763 map of Audiffredy described it as "about 800 feet long and a 10 feet drop". Many villages have existed near the waterfall, because of the abundance of fish.Template:Sfn
