History

Bloléquin Department was created in 2005 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Guiglo Department.[4] At its creation, it was part of Moyen-Cavally 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, Bloléquin Department became part of Cavally Region in Montagnes District.
