history

The market in the Madaoua village of Tounfafi was one of the small markets in the region that was approved by the French administration at the beginning of the 20th century . Madaoua was elevated to the district capital in the French military territory of Niger in 1909. The cities of Maradi and Tibiri , among others, were part of this large district, the capital of which had previously been Tahoua . Later the place lost this supra-regional importance again. Only the Madaoua market developed into an important transshipment point for peanuts in the 1960s , which was Niger's most important export at the time.

In 1988 Madaoua received the status of an independent municipality together with nine other Nigerien towns. By then there had been twelve parishes nationwide. In July 2008, the floods destroyed 24 houses in the city and over 200 people were considered damaged. In 2009 around 4,000 residents suffered material damage from flooding. The flood disaster in West and Central Africa in 2010 was relatively mild for Madaoua: 558 residents of the village of Kaba II were classified as victims of the disaster.

population

At the 1977 census, Madaoua had 14,988 inhabitants, at the 1988 census 11,649 inhabitants and at the 2001 census 22,175 inhabitants. At the 2012 census, after enlarging the municipal area, the population was 127,254.
