Thiès Region, Administrative region in western Senegal
The region extends over 6,670 square kilometers with two distinct coastlines: the Grande Côte in the north and the Petite Côte in the south.
The development of Thiès Region accelerated after the construction of the Dakar-Saint-Louis railway line in 1885, establishing its position as a transportation center.
The Serer people maintain strong connections to numerous sacred sites throughout the region, reflecting their historical presence and traditions since ancient times.
The region contains three departments - M'bour, Thiès, and Tivaoune - with fourteen communes that support agricultural production and coastal tourism activities.
The Niayes area along the northern coast functions as a major vegetable production zone, supplying fresh produce to markets across Senegal.
