History
The area of the modern city of Sennan was within ancient Izumi Province. Per the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, during Jimmu's Eastern Expedition to conquer the Yamato Basin, Jimmu and his brothers forces advanced up the Seto Inland Sea and landed near Naniwa. They faced stiff resistance from a local king named Nagamitsu-hiko and during the ensuing battle Itsuse no Mikoto was struck by an arrow. The area of Sennan is one of the locations which claim to be the site of this battle. Centuries later, it was the site of the Battle of Kashii, was the very first battle of the Summer Campaign of the 1615 Siege of Osaka.
