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, Fresco Department became part of [Gbôklé Region](/source/Gb%C3%B4kl%C3%A9_Region) in [Bas-Sassandra District](/source/Bas-Sassandra_District). (Fresco Department was combined with [Bas-Sassandra Region](/source/Bas-Sassandra_Region) to create Bas-Sassandra 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-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. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-4)** Décret n° 2008-282 du 8 octobre 2008 portant création du département de Fresco. 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 Gbôklé Region, Bas-Sassandra District Regional seat: Sassandra Fresco Department Dahiri Fresco* Gbagbam Sassandra Department Dakpadou Grihiri Lobakuya Médon Sago Sassandra* * also a commune [5°5′N 5°34′W / 5.083°N 5.567°W / 5.083; -5.567](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Fresco_Department¶ms=5_5_N_5_34_W_) This Bas-Sassandra District location article is a stub.
