History
Mbaïki was ceded by France to Germany under the terms of the 1911 Morocco-Congo Treaty, becoming part of the German colony of Neukamerun until it was reconquered by the French during World War I. Mbaiki received electricity in 1969. In 1995, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Mbaïki was established in the city. As a consequence of the Central African Republic conflict (2012–present), its previously large Muslim population has been emptied from the town.
