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, Arrah Department became part of [N'Zi Region](/source/N'Zi_Region) in [Lacs District](/source/Lacs_District). In 2012, it was joined with two other departments to form the new [Moronou Region](/source/Moronou_Region). ## 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-2)** [Citypopulation.de](https://www.citypopulation.de/en/ivorycoast/admin/) Population of the regions and departments of Ivory Coast 1. **[^](#cite_ref-3)** ["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 Moronou Region, Lacs District Regional seat: Bongouanou Arrah Department Arrah* Kotobi Krégbé Bongouanou Department Andé Assié-Koumassi Bongouanou* N'Guessankro M'Batto Department Anoumaba* Assahara M'Batto* Tiémélékro* * also a commune [6°40′N 3°58′W / 6.667°N 3.967°W / 6.667; -3.967](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Arrah_Department¶ms=6_40_N_3_58_W_) This Lacs District location article is a stub.
