Geography, Topography, and Travel
As the third city in Kanagawa Prefecture, Kawasaki City was born in July 1924 (1924). The city area expanded as a result of the merger, and the current city area was formed in March 1939 (1939). In August 1971 (1971), Kawasaki City became an ordinance-designated city along with Sapporo City and Fukuoka City. At that time, the five wards of Kawasaki Ward, Saiwai Ward, Takatsu Ward, Nakahara Ward, and Tama Ward were born. In 1982, Miyamae Ward and Asao Ward were born as separate wards and became the current seven wards. In 1623, at the beginning of the Edo period, Kawasaki-juku Station on the Tokai-do Road was established, and it became busy as a crossing of the Tamagawa River. After the Meiji period, it developed as an industrial area with the birth of modern industries, while the inland area developed as a farming village near the city, and after the high economic growth period, it was developed as a new town. This book traces the history of Kawasaki City, which has such a diversity, by looking mainly at maps from the early Showa period to the end of the Showa period and maps from the Meiji and Taisho period.
