history

The German African explorer Heinrich Barth , who traveled to Damergou in 1851, described several villages that are now in the municipality of Tanout, including Bani Walki , Dan Kamsa and Koulan Karki .

The French colonial administration established a canton in the region in 1902 , the capital of which became Tanout in 1915. From 1915 Tanout - instead of Djadjidouna - was also the seat of a French military command, which, however, was reduced to the status of a simple military post in 1918. The civil administration in the place was introduced in 1925. The French administration founded a school especially for the nomadic population in 1947 in the village of Garin Marma (Garin Marima) belonging to Tanout . It was one of the first of its kind in Niger. The future French Senator Yacouba Sido worked here as the school director.

In 1960, the year of Niger's independence, Tanout became the capital of the Tanout district, which became the Tanout district in 1964 and the Tanout department in 1998.
