The area was ceded from French Equatorial Africa to Cameroon (Neukamerun) following the Treaty of Fez. It comprised mainly the former French districts Pende, Moyen-Logone and Mao Kabi. A military occupation started in 1912 by the newly formed 12th Company of the protection force under Captain Bruno Raven. On 1 February 1913, the 12th company and its commander received management powers for the district, which originally was called Mao Kabbi. It was renamed Ober-Logone on 18 February 18, 1913.
