History

Jacqueville Department was created in 1998 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Abidjan Department.[4] At its creation, it was part of Lagunes 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, Jacqueville Department became part of Grands-Ponts Region in Lacs District.
