It was created from territory that was formerly part of the [Nord Department](/source/Nord_Department_(Ivory_Coast)). Using current boundaries as a reference, from 1969 to 2008 the department occupied the same territory as [Poro Region](/source/Poro_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. Korhogo Department was included as part of [Savanes Region](/source/Savanes_Region_(Ivory_Coast)). Korhogo Department was divided in 2008 to create [Sinématiali Department](/source/Sin%C3%A9matiali_Department)[4][5] and in 2011 to create [Dikodougou Department](/source/Dikodougou_Department). 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, Korhogo Department became part of [Poro Region](/source/Poro_Region) in [Savanes District](/source/Savanes_District). Korhogo Department was divided a third time in 2012, when four sub-prefectures were split-off to create [M'Bengué Department](/source/M'Bengu%C3%A9_Department).[6] ### Maps of historical boundaries - Korhogo Department upon its creation in 1969.
