Sorbon Haoussa is a village in the rural municipality of Kourteye in Niger .

The Hausa settlement Sorbon Haoussa is located northwest of the capital Niamey on the Niger River and on National Road 1 . In the course of the military occupation of the later Niger colony, France created the Third Military Territory (troisième Territoire militaire) in 1900 , from which in 1904 the military territory of Niger (Territoire militaire du Niger) emerged . Before Zinder was set as its capital in 1901, Sorbon Haoussa served under Colonel Marie-Étienne Peroz for a short time as the provisional administrative seat of the military territory. Sorbon Haoussa initially remained the main town of the great Zarma -Kreises (cercle du Djerma) on the Left Bank, the sectors Tillaberi , Dosso , Gaya and Sandiré included. The district commander Henri Salaman moved the main town in 1902 to the newly founded Niamey.

The village had 948 people at the 1988 census, 897 people at the 2001 census, and 958 people at the 2012 census.

During the flood disaster in West and Central Africa in 2010 , 798 residents of Sorbon Haoussa were classified as disaster victims.
