==Departments==
Marahoué Region is currently divided into five [[Departments of Ivory Coast|departments]]: [[Bonon Department|Bonon]], [[Bouaflé Department|Bouaflé]], [[Gohitafla Department|Gohitafla]], [[Sinfra Department|Sinfra]], and [[Zuénoula Department|Zuénoula]].
==History==
[[File:Marahoué region locator map Côte d'Ivoire 1997-2000.jpg|thumb|left|Marahoué Region upon its creation in 1997. Marahoué retained these boundaries until 2000, when it and Haut-Sassandra Region were divided to create Fromager Region.]]
Marahoué Region was created in 1997 as a first-level administrative region of the country. In 2000, [[Oumé Department]] was split off from Marahoué and combined with [[Gagnoa Department]] from [[Haut-Sassandra Region]] to form [[Fromager Region]].
As part of the 2011 administrative reorganisation of the [[subdivisions of Ivory Coast]], Marahoué was converted into a second-level administrative region and became part of the new first-level Sassandra-Marahoué District.<ref>Décret n° 2011-263 du 28 septembre 2011 portant organisation du territoire national en Districts et en Régions.</ref> No territorial changes were made to the region as a result of the reorganisation.
