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[1][2] after the other 30 regions had been organised in 2011. Moronou was created by splitting off three departments from N'Zi Region.[1][2]
