History

The village is noted for its abandoned plantation of the same name.

The village is the home to a plantation owned by Plantation et Huilerie du Congo in which plan oil is harvested from oil palms.
Even though it is at the heart of a palm oil plantation, finding palm oil in the local market is rare.

Due to have limited land for cultivation, it is difficult to get a different variety of foods, besides cassava and its leaves to make kwanga.
