At the beginning of the 19th century Ibrahim, son of Hadji Goarimi, was the ruler of Bouné. Through conquests he succeeded in establishing the political unity of the Mounio area , which belonged to the Bornu Empire . Ibrahim's son Kosso moved his manor to the city of Gouré. Bouné fell to France at the beginning of the 20th century . The markets in the villages of Grémaria Kabia and Zagari, which belong to Bouné, were among the small markets in the region that were then approved by the French administration. The village of Karguéri developed in the 1960s into an important center for the cultivation of peanuts , Niger's most important export at the time. In 1962/1963 24.7 tons of peanuts were produced in Karguéri, in 1967/1968 it was already 427.4 tons. The rural community of Bouné emerged in 2002 as part of a nationwide administrative reform from the canton of Bouné, from which part of the rural community of Guidiguir was added.
