History
Doropo Department was created in 2011 as part of the restructuring of the subdivisions of Ivory Coast, when departments were converted from the second-level administrative subdivisions of the country to the third-level subdivisions. It and Téhini Department were created by splitting Bouna Department into three departments and a fourth area in Comoé National Park that is not governed by a department.
