history

The French Mission Voulet-Chanoine faced 600 warriors from Dioundiou in 1899. The fortified site was taken by the French in a charge , injuring Paul Voulet , the mission leader. The French established a canton in Dioundiou at the beginning of the 20th century .

The rural community of Dioundiou emerged from the canton of Dioundiou in 2002 as part of a nationwide administrative reform. In 2009 floods attempted material damage, which directly affected 595 residents. In the flood disaster in West and Central Africa in 2010 , 399 people were classified as disaster victims in Dioundiou. Since 2011, the rural community no longer belongs to the Gaya department , but to the newly created Dioundiou department.
