history
Gamkalley Sébanguey was founded in the 16th or 17th century. According to local tradition, the founder was called Aula Sébangou and was a son of Sébangou Mali, the ruler of N'Dounga , which was the main town of the Zarma subgroup Kogori. After a family conflict about the succession in N'Dounga, Aula Sébangou fled to his uncle, the ruler of Goudel , who also belonged to the Kogori. The latter assigned Aula Sébangou a piece of land on the Niger, where he and his subordinates founded the Gamkalley Sébanguey settlement named after him. Shortly afterwards, the settlement Gamkalley Golley was founded by a member of the Zarma subgroup Golley. For centuries, both localities had a joint 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 in the constitutional referendum of 1958 , when the people of Gamkalley Sébanguey supported the Sawaba party , while the residents of Gamkalley Golley supported the victorious Nigerien Progress Party . Ultimately, both settlements were given their own mayor and the conflicts were resolved.
