history

In 1882 the Fulbe established a manor ( French : chefferie ) in Torodi. In the course of the military occupation of the later Niger colony by France, the place was initially attached to the French colony of Dahomey in 1899 and only later became part of Niger. The French made Torodi a canton in 1902 . 1971, in the independent Niger, the place was raised in addition to the administrative post (French: poste administratif ). As part of a nationwide administrative reform in 2002, the canton of Torodi became the rural municipality of Torodi. Makalondi was separated from the rural municipality of Torodi in 2009 as a separate rural community. The administrative post of Torodi was removed from the Say department in 2011 and elevated to the Torodi department.

At the 2001 census, Torodi had 114,518 residents. For 2010, 151,541 inhabitants were calculated. Both statements refer to Torodi including Makalondi. The ethnic groups that have been living in the village for a long time are Fulbe, Zarma and Gourmantché .
