The Zarma settlement Goudel was founded in the 16th century. During this period there were strong migratory movements to the area of ​​the city of Niamey, which was founded centuries later: Zarma and Songhai from the Songhai empire fled from the Moroccan conquerors, Maouri immigrated from the Dogondoutchi area and Fulbe from the entire Sahel zone . The rank of being at the beginning of the settlement history of Niamey is disputed between groups from Goudel, Kalley , Maourey , Saga and Yantala . In the 19th century, Goudel, whose local ruler was called Lamido , belonged to the emirate of Gwandu , which in turn was part of the Sokoto Caliphate .

Many properties in Goudel, like Yantala and other parts of the rapidly growing city of Niamey, which was founded in the early 20th century, were uncontrollably occupied by property speculators in the 1950s. Former soldiers and state officials were among the first buyers. With the division of Niamey into five districts in 1979, Goudel became part of the 1st district, which in 1989 with the 2nd district in the sub-municipality Niamey I, which in turn was dissolved in 1996 in the previous form. In 2007, the district was one of the venues for the first edition of the Pripalo open-air cultural festival under the direction of Achirou Wagé .
