History
The locality is erected in sub-prefecture of Ouham-Pendé on May 2, 2002 by dismemberment of the sub-prefecture of Bocaranga. In June 2007, following the murder of the sous-préfet, the Central African army burned part of the town. Occupied by the former Seleka in December 2013, the town of Ngaoundaye sees its population flee in waves to neighboring Cameroon and Chad.[4]
