History
The area of the modern city of Matsubara was within ancient Kawachi Province. Per the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, in the 5th century AD, Emperor Hanzei had a palace, Tajihi Shibagaki-no-Miya (丹比柴籬宮), in the area. During the Edo period, Matsubara was the administrative center of the Tannan Domain. The villages of Matsubara, Amami, Nunose, Miyake, and Ega were established within Tanboku District, Osaka with the creation of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889. Tannan District became part of Naka-Kawachi District on April 1, 1896. Matsubara was elevated to town status on July 1, 1942, followed by Amami on January 1, 1947. Matsubara and Amami merged with the villages of Nunose, Miyake, and Ega on February 1, 1950 to form the city of Matsubara.
