In 2005, Tanda Department was divided with the split-off creation of Koun-Fao Department. Tanda Department was divided again in 2009 with the creation of Transua Department.
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, Tanda Department became part of Gontougo Region in Zanzan District.
