Sud-Comoé Region is one of the 31 regions of Ivory Coast and is part of Comoé District. The region's seat is Aboisso. The region's area is 6,250 km²,[1] and its population in the 2014 census was 642,620.[2]
Prior to the 2011 administrative reorganisation of the subdivisions of Ivory Coast, Sud-Comoé was a first-level division region. At the reorganisation, the region was retained but became a second-level division; it was combined with Indénié-Djuablin to form the new first-level Comoé District.[3]
The territory of the region is virtually co-extensive with the territory of the pre-colonial kingdom of Sanwi, which as late as 1969 attempted to break away from Ivory Coast and form an independent state. Since 2002, the King of Sanwi has been Nana Amon Ndoufou V.
Departments
The region is divided into four departments: Aboisso, Adiaké, Grand-Bassam, and Tiapoum.
