Formerly Ako Dhong was a jungle. Ama Rin, the owner of the village, a native of Ea Mlai Village in M'Drak District, was among the first people who came here to set up the village. Prior to 1975, Ako Dhong Village had only three long-houses of ten households. All the villagers shared a big well, and cultivated 12ha of coffee. The villagers self-sufficient livelihood was based on cooperative working method and average distribution. From 1975 towards, together with the government's policy on settlement, Ako Dhong villagers had households of smaller scale formed and a village school set up. Apart from economic development, the villagers also pay attention to their children's education. All their school-age children go to school. Regarding land distribution, Ako Dhong has regulated that three years after receiving a plot of land, one has to make profits on the land and pay tax to the government, generating wealth for the family and contributing to the developing of the village.
