history

After Niger gained independence in 1960, the national territory was divided into 32 districts ( circonscriptions ). One of these was the Maïné-Soroa 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 district Maïné-Soroa was converted into the arrondissement Maïné-Soroa, with the canton Chétimari, until then part of the district Maïné-Soroa, the new arrondissement Diffa was added.

The department has been divided into municipalities since 2002. Before that, it consisted of the urban center Maïné-Soroa and the cantons of Maïné-Soroa and Goudoumaria. In 2011, Goudoumaria was separated from the Maïné-Soroa department as a separate department.
