- French Sudan
French Sudan was divided into Middle Niger and Upper Senegal on 10 October 1899, with southern cercles joining coastal colonies.
The colony, formally named French Sudan from 1890 to 1899, was split into two administrative areas: Middle Niger and Upper Senegal. This occurred after civilian administration began in 1893. The southern cercles were attached to coastal colonies, while the rest formed the new units. This was a specific administrative reorganization before the 1902 consolidation.
