I acquired 2013 census data. I had erroneously assigned Koungheul department to Kaolack region. It's in Kaffrine. I've fixed that now.
Senegal is divided into regions, which are subdivided into départements (departments). Most of the departments are further subdivided into arrondissements, and then into communes; some departments have no subdivisions.
I acquired areas and populations for the departments as of 2005 from several sources, but none of them were complete. I had to do some combining and shuffling. The data shown in the last table in the Change history section are my best approximation.
Several new departments were created in 2002-02-21. The table below shows the departments of Senegal at that time.
