It kept these boundaries until 1998, but other departments began to be divided in 1974. Aboisso Department was created in 1969, as one of the 24 new departments that were created to take the place of the six departments that were being abolished. It was created from territory that was formerly part of [Sud Department](/source/Sud_Department_(Ivory_Coast)). Using current boundaries as a reference, the new department occupied all of what today is [Sud-Comoé Region](/source/Sud-Como%C3%A9_Region). In 1997, [regions](/source/Regions_of_Ivory_Coast) were introduced as new first-level subdivisions of Ivory Coast; as a result, all departments were converted into second-level subdivisions. The territory of Aboisso Department was co-extensive with that of the new [Sud-Comoé Region](/source/Sud-Como%C3%A9_Region), which created a need to divide the department to avoid having completely overlapping first- and second-level subdivision. In 1998, Aboisso Department was split into three parts in order to create [Adiaké Department](/source/Adiak%C3%A9_Department) and [Grand-Bassam Department](/source/Grand-Bassam_Department).[4] In 2011, [districts](/source/Districts_of_Ivory_Coast) 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, Aboisso Department remained part of the retained [Sud-Comoé Region](/source/Sud-Como%C3%A9_Region) in the new [Comoé District](/source/Como%C3%A9_District). ## Notes 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Préfets de Région et de Préfets de Département (Conseil des ministres du mercredi 26 septembre 2012)"](http://news.abidjan.net/h/442135.html), abidjan.net, 2 October 2012. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-ardci_2-0)** ["Découverte du Sud-Comoé"](http://www.ardci-rd.org/index.php/vie-des-regions/sud-comoe) [Archived](https://web.archive.org/web/20160303194755/http://www.ardci-rd.org/index.php/vie-des-regions/sud-comoe) 2016-03-03 at the [Wayback Machine](/source/Wayback_Machine), ardci-rd.ci, accessed 23 February 2016. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-3)** [Citypopulation.de](https://www.citypopulation.de/en/ivorycoast/admin/) Population of the regions and departments of Ivory Coast 1. **[^](#cite_ref-4)** ["Regions of Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)"](http://www.statoids.com/yci.html), statoids.com, accessed 16 February 2016. v t e Departments of Ivory Coast Abidjan Autonomous District Abidjan (2) Bas-Sassandra District Gbôklé Region Fresco (77) Sassandra (38) Nawa Region Buyo (96) Guéyo (78) Méagui (104) Soubré (41) San-Pédro Region San-Pédro (37) Tabou (42) Comoé District Indénié-Djuablin Region Abengourou (1) Agnibilékrou (6) Bettié (73) Sud-Comoé Region Aboisso (3) Adiaké (51) Grand-Bassam (55) Tiapoum (92) Denguélé District Folon Region Kaniasso (81) Minignan (68) Kabadougou Region Gbéléban (100) Madinani (67) Odienné (34) Samatiguila (88) Séguélon (105) Gôh-Djiboua District Gôh Region Gagnoa (24) Oumé (35) Lôh-Djiboua Region Divo (21) Guitry (79) Lakota (30) Lacs District Bélier Region Didievi (61) Djékanou (98) Tiébissou (57) Toumodi (47) Iffou Region Daoukro (19) M'Bahiakro (33) Ouellé (111) Prikro (64) Moronou Region Arrah (71) Bongouanou (11) M'Batto (84) N'Zi Region Bocanda (53) Dimbokro (20) Kouassi-Kouassikro (102) Lagunes District Agnéby-Tiassa Region Agboville (5) Sikensi (65) Taabo (107) Tiassalé (45) Grands-Ponts Region Dabou (54) Grand-Lahou (25) Jacqueville (56) La Mé Region Adzopé (4) Akoupé (60) Alépé (52) Yakassé-Attobrou (94) Montagnes District Cavally Region Bloléquin (59) Guiglo (26) Taï (108) Toulépleu (58) Guémon Region Bangolo (7) Duékoué (22) Facobly (99) Kouibly (62) Tonkpi Region Biankouma (9) Danané (18) Man (31) Sipilou (106) Zouan-Hounien (66) Sassandra-Marahoué District Haut-Sassandra Region Daloa (17) Issia (27) Vavoua (48) Zoukougbeu (95) Marahoué Region Bonon (109) Bouaflé (12) Gohitafla (110) Sinfra (40) Zuénoula (50) Savanes District Bagoué Region Boundiali (15) Kouto (83) Tengréla (44) Poro Region Dikodougou (75) Korhogo (29) M'Bengué (103) Sinématiali (90) Tchologo Region Ferkessédougou (23) Kong (101) Ouangolodougou (89) Vallée du Bandama District Gbêkê Region Béoumi (8) Botro (74) Bouaké (13) Sakassou (36) Hambol Region Dabakala (16) Katiola (28) Niakaramandougou (85) Woroba District Bafing Region Koro (82) Ouaninou (87) Touba (46) Béré Region Dianra (97) Kounahiri (69) Mankono (32) Worodougou Region Kani (80) Séguéla (39) Yamoussoukro Autonomous District Attiégouakro (72) Yamoussoukro (49) Zanzan District Bounkani Region Bouna (14) Doropo (76) Nassian (63) Téhini (91) Gontougo Region Bondoukou (10) Koun-Fao (70) Sandégué (89) Tanda (93) Transua (43) Defunct departments Centre (1961–69) Centre-Ouest (1963–69) Est (1963–69) Nord (1961–69) Ouest (1961–69) Sud (1961–69) v t e Departments and sub-prefectures of Sud-Comoé Region, Comoé District Regional seat: Aboisso Aboisso Department Aboisso* Adaou Adjouan Ayamé* Bianouan Kouakro Maféré* Yaou Adiaké Department Adiaké* Assinie-Mafia Etuéboué Grand-Bassam Department Bongo Bonoua* Grand-Bassam* Tiapoum Department Noé Nouamou Tiapoum* * also a commune Authority control databases National United States Israel Other Yale LUX [5°28′N 3°12′W / 5.467°N 3.200°W / 5.467; -3.200](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Aboisso_Department¶ms=5_28_N_3_12_W_) This Comoé District location article is a stub.
