History

Worodougou Region upon its creation in 1997. Worodougou retained these boundaries until 2000, when it was divided to create Bafing Region.

Worodougou Region was established in 1997 as a first-level administrative subdivision. At its establishment, it included all of the territory that is today Woroba District. In 2000, Bafing Region was created by dividing Worodougou.

Worodougou retained its new boundaries until the 2011 reorganisation of the subdivisions of Ivory Coast, when it was divided a second time, the latter to create Béré Region. As part of the reorganisation, Worodougou was converted into a second-level subdivision and with Bafing and Béré became part of the first-level Woroba District.
