The people living around Narosura are predominantly pastoralist Maasai, some of whom also practice irrigation agriculture.

Important community institutions include a public-run health center, several churches and schools.

Though located in the backwaters of predominantly semi-arid plains at the foot of the Loita hills, Narosurra Town is a fairly modern and fast growing commercial hub.

While Narosura has remained for decades without a high school, it is probable that it has the largest concentration of post-secondary educated residents.

Archaeologists discovered an important Pastoral Neolithic site at Narosura in the early 1970s.
