Lacs District (French: District des Lacs; pronounced [lak], "Lakes") is one of fourteen administrative districts of Ivory Coast. The district is located in the central part of the country. The capital of the district is Dimbokro.
Creation
[edit]Lacs District was created in a 2011 administrative reorganisation of the subdivisions of Ivory Coast.[4] The territory of the district was composed by merging the former regions of N'Zi-Comoé and Lacs and removing the area of the Yamoussoukro Autonomous District.[1]
Administrative divisions
[edit]Lacs District is currently subdivided into four regions and the following departments:
- Bélier Region (region seat in Yamoussoukro, outside the district)
- Iffou Region (region seat in Daoukro)
- Moronou Region (region seat in Bongouanou)
- N'zi Region (region seat also in Dimbokro)
Moronou Region was created in 2012 as a split-off from N'Zi Region.
