Moronou is currently divided into three departments: Arrah, Bongouanou, and M'Batto.
Moronou is the most recently created region of Ivory Coast. It was formed in 2012 after the other 30 regions had been organised in 2011. Moronou was created by splitting off three departments from N'Zi Region.
The Kingdom of Moronou was founded by the Anyi people in the 18th century.
