Ahermoumou is notable for housing the Royal Military Training Academy (formerly the Non-Commissioned Officers School of Ahermoumou), whose commander and cadets were implicated in the 1971 Moroccan coup attempt. Following the unsuccessful coup, King Hassan II officially renamed the town Ribate El Kheir; both names, however, remain in use.
