The origin of the village dates back to a very distant period. It was once a trading post or a small port of Phoenician cabotage called Cartili before becoming the ancient Carcome of the Romans.
The construction of the colonial village, Dupleix, dates back to the end of the nineteenth century in 1896. It naturally expanded with the construction of a town hall, a school with two classes, a wash house, A church, a bridge crossing the Wadi Damous and the barracks for the garrison.
In 1896, during the colonization, the city is named Dupleix and is part of the department of Algiers. After independence, it takes the name of Damous.[6]
