History
The area of Fukutsu was part of ancient Chikugo Province. During the Edo Period the area was under the control of Fukuoka Domain. After the Meiji restoration, the villages of Jingō and Kami-Saigō were established on May 1, 1889, with the creation of the modern municipalities system. The villages merged to form the town of Fukuma on April 1, 1954. Fukuma merged with the town of Tsuyazaki on January 24, 2005, and became the city of Fukutsu.
