History
The area of present-day Miyazu was part of ancient Tango Province, and was then location of the provincial capital and the Tango Kokubun-ji during the late Nara and Heian period. The area came under the control of the Isshiki clan during the Muromachi period and then to Hosokawa Tadaoki in the Sengoku period. During the Edo Period, it was largely under 70,000 koku Miyazu Domain under the Tokugawa shogunate and ruled by a cadet branch of the Matsudaira clan from Miyazu Castle. After the Meiji restoration, the town of Miyazu was established within Yosa District with the creation of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889. Miyazu became a port for trading with the United States and the United Kingdom in July 1899. On June 1, 1954, Miyazu merged with the neighboring villages of Kunda, Yoshizu, Fuchu, Hioki, Seya, Yoro, and Higatani to form the city of Miyazu. The village of Yura was annexed on September 20, 1956.
