In 2005, the M'Bahiakro Department was divided in order to create Prikro Department.
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, M'Bahiakro Department became part of Iffou Region in Lacs District. Districts were suppressed in 2014.
