Booklet of 20 vintage postcards of the city of Bougie (now Béjaïa) in Algeria in the 1930s.
The department of Bougie was a French department of Algeria between 1958 and 1959. Considered since March 4, 1848 as an integral part of the French territory, Algeria was administratively organized in the same way as the metropolis. Thus, for a hundred years, the city of Bougie was a sub-prefecture of the department of Sétif until March 17, 1958.
The Bougie department was therefore created on this date, and included territories from both the departments of Setif and Constantine. He owned five sub-prefectures: Akbou, Djidjelli, Kherrata, Lafayette and Sidi-Aïch.
