It was created from territory that was formerly part of [Centre Department](/source/Centre_Department_(Ivory_Coast)). Using current boundaries as a reference, from 1969 to 1980 the department encompassed the following territory: all of [Moronou Region](/source/Moronou_Region); all of [N'Zi Region](/source/N'Zi_Region); and [Daoukro](/source/Daoukro_Department) and [Ouellé Departments](/source/Ouell%C3%A9_Department) in [Iffou Region](/source/Iffou_Region). In 1980, Dimbokro Department was divided to create [Bongouanou Department](/source/Bongouanou_Department).[3] What remained was divided again in 1988 to create [Daoukro Department](/source/Daoukro_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. Dimbokro Department was included in [N'Zi-Comoé Region](/source/N'Zi-Como%C3%A9_Region). In 1998, the department was divided again to create [Bocanda Department](/source/Bocanda_Department).[3] 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, Dimbokro Department became part of [N'Zi Region](/source/N'Zi_Region) in [Lacs District](/source/Lacs_District). ### Maps of historical boundaries - Dimbokro Department upon its creation in 1969.
