History
Haboro village was established in 1894. The town's full-scale development began in the mid-Meiji period, later than the neighboring towns of Tomamae and Shosanbetsu, but since the discovery of the Haboro Coal Mine, which produced high-quality coal, in the Taisho period, it developed into a monoculture settlement centered on coal. Haboro was officially designated a town in 1921. The villages of Teuri and Yagishiri were merged into Haboro in 1955 and 1959, respectively. In the 1965 census, the town had a population of 30,266 and 6,840 households, and flourished as one of the leading coal mining towns in Hokkaido and the country. However, since the mine closed in 1971, depopulation has been significant.
