History
As with all of Tokushima Prefecture, the area of Komatsushima was part of ancient Awa Province. During the Genpei War, it was the location where Minamoto no Yoshiatsu landed in Shikoku in his campaign against the Heike clan at the Battle of Yashima. During the Edo period, the area was part of the holdings of Tokushima Domain ruled by the Hachisuka clan from their seat at Tokushima Castle. Following the Meiji restoration, the village of Komatsushima was established within Katsuura District, Tokushima with the creation of the modern municipalities system on October 1, 1889. It was raised to town status on November 1, 1908. In April 1951, Komatsushima annexed the neighboring town of Tatsue. Komatsushima was raised to city status on June 1, 1951. The neighboring town of Sakano was annexed on September 30, 1956.
