Noun

The Noun department extends across 7,700 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 1,007 meters in western Cameroon.

The department structure emerged through Cameroon's administrative reforms of 2008, which transformed the previous provincial system into a regional framework.

Nine communes within the Noun department, including Foumban and Foumbot, maintain their local administrative traditions through district heads and community leaders.

The department capital of Foumban serves as the central point for administrative services, while local governance occurs through designated commune offices.

The Noun River flows through the department, supporting local fishing activities and contributing to the regional agricultural practices.
