History
Koro Department was created in 2008 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Touba Department. At its creation, it was part of Bafing 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, Koro Department remained part of the retained Bafing Region in the new Woroba District.
