## History

Tabou Department was created in 1988 as a first-level subdivision via a split-off from [Sassandra Department](/source/Sassandra_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. Tabou Department was included in [Bas-Sassandra Region](/source/Bas-Sassandra_Region).

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, Tabou Department became part of [San-Pédro Region](/source/San-P%C3%A9dro_Region) in [Bas-Sassandra District](/source/Bas-Sassandra_District).

## Transport

The department is serviced by [Tabou Airport](/source/Tabou_Airport).
