The village of Diouloulou was the capital of the rural community of Diouloulou and of the arrondissement of Diouloulou. In 2008, the town gained the status of a "commune". This was connected with the separation of the urban area from the territory of the rural community and from the arrondissement, whose main place and namesake henceforth was the village of Kataba I. The urban area includes the villages of Djibaly, Badionkoto, Missira, Brikamanding 2, Aïnoumane and Santhiba.
Diouloulou, a quiet, unremarkable town, lies along the N5 road. There is a small church, Eglise de Diouloulou, in the southern outskirts of the town, and a campement at Auberge Myriam.
