Historical Context
Supposedly natural transformations were one of the original motivations for category theory, outweighing in importance both the notions of functors and categories. Emily Riehl, in her book Category Theory in Context, section 1.4 (Naturality), has the following quote:
It is not too misleading, at least historically, to say that categories are what one must define in order to define functors, and that functors are what one must define in order to define natural transformations. Peter Freyd, in Abelian categories
Wikipedia claims, on the page for Category Theory, that:
[...] Eilenberg and Mac Lane [founders of category theory] later [wrote] that their goal was to understand natural transformations, which first required the definition of functors, then categories.
Additionally, Wikipedia includes the following quote from Eilenberg and Mac Lane:
It should be observed first that the whole concept of a category is essentially an auxiliary one; our basic concepts are essentially those of a functor and of a natural transformation [...] Eilenberg and Mac Lane, 1945
