history

After Niger gained independence in 1960, the national territory was divided into 32 districts ( circonscriptions ). One of them was the Filingué 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 Filingué district was converted into the Filingué arrondissement. The future Prime Minister Mahamadou Danda headed the arrondissement as sub-prefect from 1983 to 1987 .

In 1998, the previous Arrondissements of Niger were elevated to 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 Filingué and the cantons of Kourfey, Imanan / Bonkoukou, Tagazar / Tabla and Tondikandia / Damana . In 2011, Abala and Balleyara were separated from the Filingué department as separate departments.
