History
The area of Ogi was part of ancient Hizen Province. During the Edo period it was mostly was part of the holdings of Ogi Domain, initially a sub-domain of Saga Domain, which also controlled a small portion of what is now the city limits. Following the Meiji restoration, the town of Ogi and villages of Ashikari, Haruta, Iwamatsu, Mikazuki, Misato, Togawa and Ushizu were established with the creation of the modern municipalities system of April 1, 1889. Ushizu was raised to town status on April 24, 1894. Ogi annexed Haruta, Iwamatsu and Misato on April 31, 1932m and part of Togawa on September 30, 1956. On April 1, 1967 Ashikari was elevated to town status, followed by Mikazuki on January 1, 1969. On March 3, 2005, Ogi merged with Ashikari, Mikatsuki and Ushizu (all from Ogi District) to form the city of Ogi. Ogi District was dissolved as a result of this merger.
