Kouibly Department was created in 2005 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Man Department.[3] At its creation, it was part of Dix-Huit Montagnes 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, Kouibly Department became part of Guémon Region in Montagnes District.
In 2012, five sub-prefectures were split-off from Kouibly Department to create Facobly Department.[4]
