The default street name scheme in Gamkalley Golley is Rue GK 1 in the residential area and Rue ZI 1 in the industrial area. The French rue for street is followed by the abbreviation GK for Gamkalley or ZI for zone industrial (industrial area) and finally a number. This goes back to a project to name streets in Niamey in 2002, in which the city was divided into 44 zones, each with its own letter abbreviations.

Most of the district is located in a table land with a layer of sand less than 2.5 meters deep. The soil in the north is rich in iron, which means that infiltration is not possible. The same applies to the bank zone on the river, where there is an alluvial soil with a high water table. South of Gamkalley Golley is the Saga district and the Pays Bas district to the east . To the north, across Boulevard du 15 Avril, are the Cité Fayçal district and the Hippodrome racecourse .
history
Gamkalley Golley was founded in the 16th or 17th centuries. According to local tradition, a member of the Zarma subgroup Golley fled after a conflict with the Tuareg to the ruler of Goudel , who assigned him land next to the recently founded Gamkalley Sébanguey, creating Gamkalley Golley. For centuries, both settlements had a common mayor, the maigari of Gamkalley, who came from the larger Gamkalley Sébanguey. In the elections for a new maigari in 1924 or 1925, two rival sons of the late mayor from Gamkalley Sébanguey stood for election, with the result that the only candidate from Gamkalley Golley won a relative majority. He stayed in office for decades. The split between the two districts was also evident at the constitutional referendum of 1958 , when the people of Gamkalley Golley supported the victorious Nigerien Progress Party , while the residents of Gamkalley Sébanguey sided with the rival Sawaba party . Ultimately, both settlements were given their own mayor and the conflicts were resolved. In 1977 the Gamkalley Golley industrial area was created.
