The town was founded by Randriambololona and her three children: Raseheno, Ramiangaly and Razak who settled here in the late eighteenth century. From a historical and linguistic point of view, Ambatondrazaka originates from two words: "Vato", which means stone in Malagasy, and "Razak" - "under Razak's stone". After Razak won the war against the Vazimba he celebrated the victory and held a stone in the air. This stone was the origin of the town's name: "under Razak's stone".
<!-- Ambatondrazaka refers to an oath which Razak took before a stone that was lifted at Andohatanjona.-->
