The oil fields of the Zama region were discovered between 1965 and 1969. A community was established, according to "Notes of the North" (1977), in 1968. However, other sources from the Canadian government were founded in 1966 alongside its Post Office and Mackenzie County Sub-Office.[3][4]
In mid-July 2012, a massive forest fire near Zama City threatened the community's very existence, reaching within 10 km of the hamlet.[3]
