History

Sikensi Department was created in 2005 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Dabou Department.[3] At its creation, it was part of Lagunes Region.

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, Sikensi Department became part of Agnéby-Tiassa Region in Lagunes District.
