history

The Dogondoutchi department was part of the historic Aréoua region , which fell to France in 1899 . The French colonial administration established a subdivision of Dogondoutchi in 1922 , which belonged to the district ( cercle ) of Dosso. After Niger gained independence in 1960, the national territory was divided into 32 districts ( circonscriptions ). One of them was the Dogondoutchi 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 Dogondoutchi district was converted into the Dogondoutchi arrondissement.

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 Dogondoutchi and the cantons of Dogondoutchi, Takassaba / Guéchémé and Tibiri. In 2011, Tibiri was separated from the Dogondoutchi department as a separate department.
