Kabkabiya is home to a military base and has been a main location with the Battle of Kabkabiya during the 2023 Sudan war.[3] In May 2004, it held 45,000–95,000 internally displaced persons during the War in Darfur.[4]

Its town of the same name was one of few prior to the Anglo-Egyptian invasion of Sudan and an important access point to the caravan trade west of Cobbé under the Sultanate of Darfur.[5]
