History
Kani Department was created in 2009 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Séguéla Department.[4] At its creation, it was part of Worodougou 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, Kani Department remained part of the retained Worodougou Region in the new Woroba District.
