Creation
Moyen-Cavally Region was created in 2000 by splitting-off Duékoué Department, Guiglo Department, and Toulépleu Department from Dix-Huit Montagnes Region.
Administrative divisions
At the time of its dissolution, Moyen-Cavally Region was divided into four departments: Bloléquin, Duékoué, Guiglo, and Toulépleu.
Abolition
Moyen-Cavally Region was abolished as part of the 2011 administrative reorganisation of the subdivisions of Ivory Coast. The area formerly encompassed by the region is now part of Montagnes District. The territory of the department of Duékoué was combined with the former Dix-Huit Montagnes Region's Bangolo and Kouibly Departments to create the new second-level Guémon Region. The territory of the remaining departments—Bloléquin, Guiglo, and Toulépleu—were combined to create Cavally Region, another region of the new Montagnes District.
