In 2021, its population was 705,378 and its seat is the settlement of [Daloa](/source/Daloa). The [sub-prefectures](/source/Sub-prefectures_of_Ivory_Coast) of the department are [Bédiala](/source/B%C3%A9diala), [Daloa](/source/Daloa), [Gadouan](/source/Gadouan), [Gboguhé](/source/Gboguh%C3%A9), [Gonaté](/source/Gonat%C3%A9), and [Zaïbo](/source/Za%C3%AFbo). ## History Daloa 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 [Centre-Ouest Department](/source/Centre-Ouest_Department). Using current boundaries as a reference, from 1969 to 1980 the department occupied the same territory as [Haut-Sassandra Region](/source/Haut-Sassandra_Region). In 1980, Daloa Department was divided to create [Issia Department](/source/Issia_Department).[3] What remained was divided again in 1988 to create [Vavoua Department](/source/Vavoua_Department).[3] 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. Daloa Department was included as part of [Haut-Sassandra Region](/source/Haut-Sassandra_Region). A third division of Daloa Department occurred in 2008, with the creation of [Zoukougbeu Department](/source/Zoukougbeu_Department).[3][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, Daloa Department was retained as part of [Haut-Sassandra Region](/source/Haut-Sassandra_Region) in the new [Sassandra-Marahoué District](/source/Sassandra-Marahou%C3%A9_District). ### Maps of historical boundaries - Daloa Department upon its creation in 1969.
