History
The area of the modern city of Kawachinagano was within ancient Kawachi Province. Evidence of continuous human settlement since the Japanese Paleolithic period has been found. Numerous kofun burial mounds were built in the area during the Kofun period, and the Asuka period scholar and diplomat Takamuko no Kuromaro came from this area. During the Nara and Heian period, numerous Buddhist temples were built, including Kanshin-ji and Kongō-ji. During the Nanboku-chō period, the area was the site of many conflicts between the Northern Court and the Southern Court. During the Edo Period much of the area came under the control of Sayama Domain, Zeze Domain and Kanbe Domain.
After the Meiji restoration, the area became part of Osaka Prefecture from 1881. The villages of Nagano, Nishigori, Shinno (later renamed Chiyoda), Amano, Mikkaichi, Kawakami, Amami, and Kaga-Tamura and Takamukai were created with the establishment of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889. On April 1, 1896, the area became part of Minamikawachi District, Osaka. Nagano was elevated to town status on September 1, 1910. On April 1, 1954, Nagano merged with Mikkaichi, Kawakami, Amami, Kagata, and Takamukai villages to form the city of Kawachinagano.
