Creation
Lacs District was created in a 2011 administrative reorganisation of the subdivisions of Ivory Coast. 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.
Administrative divisions
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.
Population
According to the 2021 census, Lacs District has a population of 1,488,531.
