Kamez is located on the site of an Ancient Illyrian village. The area may have been visited by Emperor Justinian I or Belisarius. Prior to the 1990s, Kamëz was a sparsely populated and predominantly agricultural area. Following the post 1990s Albanian population movements, the area experienced massive influxes of inhabitants from all over Albania. The newly formed city is known to bear impressive street names belonging to international personalities, capital cities, and organizations, such as Donald Trump Street.
