History

Koun-Fao Department was created in 2005 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Tanda Department.[2] At its creation, it was part of Zanzan 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, Koun-Fao Department became part of Gontougo Region in Zanzan District.
