History
The area of Kasuga is believed to be the center of the Yayoi period, Nakoku. It was later part of ancient Chikuzen Province and its name comes from a Kasuga Shrine which was constructed in the Nara period by the Fujiwara clan which then ruled the area.. During the Edo Period, the area was under the control of Fukuoka Domain. After the Meiji restoration, the village of Kasuga was established with the creation of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889. Kasuga was raised to town status on January 1, 1953. Kasuga was elevated to city status on April 1, 1972.
