This town was once occupied by the Germans under the nation of Kamerun. The Germans built several administrative buildings in Ambam as it was of strategic importance. On 14 December 2000, the building proposal of a new road connecting Ambam to Eking on the Gabonese border was passed and signed on 2 February 2001. The building of the 27 kilometre road  was funded by African Development Foundation (ADF) and the Government of Cameroon and was intended to improve socio-economic infrastructure and to improve the institutional capacities of the Ministries of Public Works (MINTP), Forestry
and Wildlife (MINFOF), and Environment and Protection of Nature (MINEP). In June 2009, a workshop funded by the European Union and the Economic and Monetary Community of Central African States (CEMAC) met in Ambam to discuss the future of the plaintain and the banana industry in the region. In January 2010, the mayor of Ambam, Ela Jolinon Ekoto, was arrested and charged in Ebolowa for the embezzlement of 20 million CFA Francs of communal funds from the town hall. Settlements
