Bondoukou (Bonduku) is the capital of Côte d'Ivoire's Zanzan region. Originally a Dyula trading center, the capital was conquered by the Abron, an Akan people, in the early seventeenth century; it soon became the economic hub of the Gyaaman kingdom. The city fell briefly to Samori in 1895 before being incorporated into French West Africa in 1897.

Today the city has a population of roughly 45,000 people.
