History

N'Gaous is the site of the ancient city of Nicives. Located in the late Roman province of Numidia, it was deemed important enough to serve for a period as a suffragan bishopric.

Titular see

The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as a titular bishopric.

It has had the following incumbents, of the fitting episcopal (lowest) rank :

  • Angelo Félix Mugnol (1966.02.07 – 1969.01.15)

  • Stanley Joseph Ott (1976.05.24 – 1983.01.13)
  • José Mário Stroeher (1983.03.25 – 1986.08.08)
