History
The area of Kanzaki was part of ancient Hizen Province. Per the Hizen Koku Fudoki, during the Kofun period the area was ruled by several powerful clans, which were defeated by Emperor Keiko. During the Edo period, Kanzaki was part of the Saga Domain, with approximately a third of the area under the sub-domain of Hasuike Domain. Following the Meiji restoration, the villages of Chitose, Hasuike, Kanzaki, Niiyama, Saigō, Sakaino, Sefuri and Shirota were established with the creation of the modern municipalities system. Kanzaki was raised to town status on July 1, 1893. Hasuike was raised to town status on November 3, 1935. On March 31, 1955, the villages of Saigō and Niiyama were merged into Kanzaki, and on April 1, 1955, the villages of Chitose, Sakaino, Shirota, and parts of the town of Hasuike were merged to create the village of Chiyoda, which was raised to town status on April 1, 1965. The city of Kanzaki was established on March 20, 2006 from the merger of the former town of Kanzaki, absorbing the town of Chiyoda and the village of Sefuri (all from Kanzaki District). As a result of this merger, there are no longer any villages in Saga Prefecture.
