History

Prior to its creation in 2019, In Guezzam Province was part of Tamanrasset Province. Tamanrasset Province was created from Oasis Province in 1974.

The province was approved on May 27, 2015 and was confirmed on November 26, 2019. The following month, on December 18, 2019, In Guezzam Province was created after the Cabinet of Algeria passed a bill that created 10 new provinces in a rare move. Prior to that there was no creation of provinces in Algeria for 35 years.

The capital of the province is also called In Guezzam as all Algerian provinces are required to be named after their capitals.
