History edit
Guéyo Department was created in 2008 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Sassandra Department.[4] At its creation, it was part of Bas-Sassandra 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, Guéyo Department became part of Nawa Region in Bas-Sassandra District.
