History
The area of Miyawaka was part of ancient Chikuzen Province, and is mentioned in the Nihon Shoki and other Nara period sources as territory of Munakata Shrine. During the Edo Period the area was under the control of Fukuoka Domain. After the Meiji restoration, the villages of Wakaymiya and Miyata were established on May 1, 1889, with the creation of the modern municipalities system. Miyata was raised to town status on April 1, 1926, and Wakamiya on February 11, 1943. The two towns merged on February 11, 2006, to form the city of Miyawaka.
