Bettié Department was created in 2008 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Abengourou Department.[3] At its creation, it was part of Moyen-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, Bettié Department became part of Indénié-Djuablin Region in Comoé District.
