Its capital city has the same name of Kampong Cham which means ‘Port of the Chams’ in Khmer.

Today, all land west of the Mekong remains Kampong Cham, while land east of the river becomes Tbong Khmum province.

Because of little foreign investment and no large-scale tourism, Kampong Cham is quite poor and less-developed with few modern buildings, though there is abundant of French architecture from the colonial period. However, with the completion of a modern Kizuna Bridge, the first bridge to be built over Mekong River in Cambodia which connects the country's northeastern regions to the city, the city has begun a slow recovery from decades of decline.
