Prikro Department was created in 2005 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from M'Bahiakro Department.[4] At its creation, it was part of N'Zi-Comoé 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, Prikro Department became part of Iffou Region in Lacs District.
