History

Mankono Department was created in 1980 as a first-level subdivision via a split-off from Séguéla Department.[http://www.statoids.com/yci.html "Regions of Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)"], statoids.com, accessed 16 February 2016. Using current boundaries as a reference, from 1980 to 2005 the department occupied the same territory as Béré Region.

In 1997, regions were introduced as new first-level subdivisions of Ivory Coast; as a result, all departments were converted into second-level subdivisions. Mankono Department was included in Worodougou Region.

In 2005, Mankono Department was divided to create Kounahiri Department.

In 2011, districts were introduced as new first-level subdivisions of Ivory Coast. At the same time, regions were reorganised and became second-level subdivisions and all departments were converted into third-level subdivisions. At this time, Mankono Department became part of Béré Region in Woroba District.

In 2012, Mankono Department was divided again when two sub-prefectures were split-off to form Dianra Department.[http://www.depse.ci/telecharger-fichier-joint/17 "Le décret n° 2012-611 du 04 juillet 2012 portant création des Départements de Djékanou, Sipilou, Kong, Gbéléban, Taabo, Kouassi-Kouassikro, Méagui, Séguélon, Buyo, M'Bengué, Facobly et Dianra"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221002001/http://www.depse.ci/telecharger-fichier-joint/17 |date=2016-12-21 }}.
