History
The area of Togitsu was part of ancient Hizen Province. During the Edo Period, the area was under the control of Ōmura Domain, and its port was a shortcut on the route to the port of Nagasaki, and was thus used by many shogunate officials and daimyo. After the Meiji restoration, the village of Togitsu was established with the creation of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889. Togitsu was raised to town status on December 1, 1951.
