The soil is volcanic and fertile. The country around Melong was once covered by thick rainforest, but migration of Bamileke people into the region has caused much of this to be cleared for farming. Due to cultivation, the volcanic andosols are gradually evolving into ferralsols.

In 1936 the Bishop Paul Bouque transferred the junior seminary to Melong. The first candidates from this seminary were accepted by the senior seminary at Mvolyé in 1940. Albert Ndongmo was admitted to the seminary at Melong in September 1940. He was to go on to become Bishop of Nkongsamba.
