Tiébissou Department was created in 1998 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Yamoussoukro Department.[3] At its creation, it was part of Lacs Region.
In 2005, Tiébissou Department was divided in order to create Didiévi Department.[3]
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, Tiébissou Department became part of Bélier Region in Lacs District.
