History
During the Edo period, Takahagi was the jōkamachi of Matsuoka Domain, one of the feudal domains of the Tokugawa shogunate in Hitachi Province, ruled by the Nakamura clan, the hereditary karō of Mito Domain. With the creation of the modern municipalities system after the Meiji Restoration on April 1, 1889, the town of Matsubara, and the villages of Matsuoka, Takaoka, Kurosaki and Kushigata was established within Taga District, Ibaraki. Matsuoka was raised to town status on April 17, 1928. Matsubara was renamed Takahagi on October 1, 1937.
Takahagi merged with Matsubara, Takaoka and Kurosaki on November 23, 1954, and was raised to city status. The city suffered considerable damage in the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
