History

In 1366 when Henry II of Castile de Trastámara was crowned king in Calahorra, the Navarro gentleman Juan Ramirez de Arellano received from him the Lordship of Cameros in return for services rendered. Ajamil was among the peoples and places of the said lordship and power passed to the counts of Aguilar and Cameros lords, until the abolition of the feudal system with the Spanish Constitution of 1812.

In the census of the population of Castilla in the 16th century, Ajamil contained, along with Najera, 50 residences, about 300 individuals.

Until the creation of the province of Logroño (by decree of 30 November 1833) the village was exempted and belonged to the province of Soria with its own independent jurisdiction in advance.

Festivals

Las fiestas patronales se celebran en torno al día de San Cristóbal, 10 de julio. En la víspera, los mozos adornan las ventanas de las muchachas solteras con ramas y les dan la ronda. Son las canciones de la "enramada". El día de la fiesta se reparte un bollo de pan bendecido y vino.

Existe la Asociación Cultural de Ajamil creada por habitantes, descendientes de habitantes y amigos de la localidad. La asociación organizó en 1999 el Día del Camero Viejo, publicando con este motivo el libro Recuerdos de Ajamil.

En 2014 se celebró en esta localidad riojana "El día del Camero Viejo".
