History

Bocanda Department was created in 1998 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Dimbokro Department.[3] At its creation, it was part of N'Zi-Comoé Region.
In 2011, districts were introduced as new first-level subdivisions of Ivory Coast. At the same time, regions were reorganised and became second-level subdivisions and all departments were converted into third-level subdivisions. At this time, Bocanda Department became part of N'Zi Region in Lacs District.
In 2012, Kouassi-Kouassikro sub-prefecture was split from Bocanda Department and divided into two sub-prefectures to create Kouassi-Kouassikro Department.[4]
