History
San-Pédro Department was created in 1988 as a first-level subdivison via a split-off from Sassandra Department.[4]
In 1997, regions were introduced as new first-level subdivisions of Ivory Coast; as a result, all departments were converted into second-level subdivisions. San-Pédro Department was included in Bas-Sassandra 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, San-Pédro Department became part of San-Pédro Region in Bas-Sassandra District.
