history

After Niger gained independence in 1960, the national territory was divided into 32 districts ( circonscriptions ). One of them was the Boboye district. 1964 an administrative reform divided Niger into seven departments, the predecessors of the later regions, and 32 arrondissements, the predecessors of the later departments. In the course of this, the Boboye district was converted into the Boboye arrondissement. Plans to separate Falmey from Boboye as a separate arrondissement had existed since the 1960s.

In 1998 the previous Arrondissements of Nigers were converted into departments, each headed by a prefect appointed by the Council of Ministers. The department has been divided into municipalities since 2002. Before that, it consisted of the urban center Birni N'Gaouré and the cantons of Birni N'Gaouré / Boboye, Harikanassou / Kiota and Koygolo. In 2011, Falmey was separated from the Boboye department as a separate department.
