The municipality is divided into nine districts and 32 rural villages, of which 18 are villages with their own local councils. The nine districts are Aoula Koira, Camp de Garde, Kollo Carré, Kollo Fandou, Kollo Madina, Kollo Zarma, Prison, Sahara and Sirignère.

history

Kollo was conquered in the second half of the 19th century by the Zarma ruler Issa Korombé from Karma , who was in alliance with Dargol . At the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, Kollo came under French rule, under which the place remained until Niger gained independence in 1960.

In 1980 Kollo became the capital of the newly created arrondissement Kollo, later the department of the same name. In 2002, Kollo was raised from a municipality ( French : commune ) to an urban municipality ( commune urbaine ). The municipal area was enlarged by parts of the dissolved canton of Kouré, which were not added to the newly established rural municipality of Kouré. In the flood disaster in West and Central Africa in 2010 , 2,412 residents of Kollo were classified as disaster victims. The village of Winde Korkoy was particularly hard hit.
