 Not much is known about the Mmuock people prior to the 18th century.According to oral history, they at one point settled at a place called Bezeq Føka () in the present-day Menoua division of the Western Region.Thence, they migrated to a locality which today lies in Bafou and is called Fem Mmuock (meaning "ruins of the abandoned location of Mmuock") by Mmuock people, and "Femock" by Bafou people .
