history

After Niger gained independence in 1960, the national territory was divided into 32 districts ( circonscriptions ). One of them was the district Nomade de Tahoua (also Tahoua nomads) with Tchintabarades as the main town. 1964 an administrative reform divided Niger into seven departments, the predecessors of the later regions, and 32 arrondissements , the predecessors of the later departments. The district Nomade de Tahoua was converted into the Arrondissement Tchintabaraden.

In 1998, the previous Arrondissements of Niger were elevated to departments, each headed by a prefect appointed by the Council of Ministers.

Before that, it consisted of the urban center Tchintabaraden and a residual zone. In 2011, Tassara and Tillia were separated from the Tchintabaraden department as separate departments.
