History
Tiébissou Department upon its creation in 1998. It kept these boundaries until 2005, but other subdivision boundary changes began to be made in 2000.

Tiébissou Department was created in 1998 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Yamoussoukro Department.[3] At its creation, it was part of Lacs Region.

In 2005, Tiébissou Department was divided in order to create Didiévi Department.[3]

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, Tiébissou Department became part of Bélier Region in Lacs District.
