Colomars (Couloumas in Nissard) is a hilltop village at 340-402m above the Var river valley and below Mont Chauve.
It was given in 1070 to the monastery of Saint-Pons by the children of Raimbaud de Nice and Rostaing de Gréolièrs, when it then became a dependency of Nice.
Colomars was one of the richest communes of Aspremont.
A decree signed on 2 June 1874 by Maréchal de Mac Mahon separated Colomars, Aspremont and Castagniers into three separate villages.
Between 1894-7, the conseil generale issued 8,715 American rootstocks for replanting the vineyards around the commune of Colomars.
