History
Minamisatsuma is part of ancient Satsuma Province and was part of the holdings of Satsuma Domain in the Edo period. The villages of Kaseda, Higashikaseda, Nishikaseda, and Seinangata in Kawabe District and Ata and Tabuse in Ata District were established on April 1, 1889 with the creation of the modern municipalities system. Kaseda was raised to town status on January 1, 1924. Higashikaseda became the town of Mansei on January 1, 1925. Nishikaseda (which had been renamed Kasasa in 1923) became the town Kasasa on November 10, 1940. It subsequent separated into Kasas and Oura towns on April 1, 1951. Kaseda and Mansei merged to form the city of Kaseda on July 15, 1954. Seinangata (which had been renamed Bozu in 1953) became the town of Bozu on November 1, 1955. Ata and Tabuse merged to form the town on Kinpo on September 30, 1956.
The city of Minamisatsuma was established on November 7, 2005, from the merger of the city of Kaseda, with the town of Kinpō (from Hioki District), and the towns of Bonotsu, Kasasa and Ōura (all from Kawanabe District).
