History

File:Toumodi Department locator map Côte d'Ivoire (1988-95).jpg

Toumodi Department was created in 1988 as a first-level subdivision via a split-off from Bouaké Department.[http://www.statoids.com/yci.html "Regions of Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)"], statoids.com, accessed 16 February 2016.

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

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, Toumodi Department became part of Bélier Region in Lacs District.

In 2012, two sub-prefectures were split from Toumodi Department to create Djékanou 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"].
