History
Ikeda is said to have been first settled in 1879 by colonists from Yamanashi Prefecture, but organised cultivation began in 1896 with the establishment of Ikeda Farms by Marquess Ikeda Nakahiro, son of former Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu and adopted heir to the daimyo of Tottori Domain. In 1926 small villages came together, gaining town status and Ikeda town began.
