History
The area of Tsukumi was part of ancient Bungo Province. According to legend Emperor Jimmu climbed Mount Suisho in Tsukumi and offered mandarin oranges to the people. Historical records indicate that mandarin oranges were cultivated in the area from around 740 AD. During the Edo period the area was divided between Usuki Domain and Saiki Domain. Following the Meiji restoration, the village of Tsukumi (津組村) within Minamiamabe District, Ōita was established on May 1, 1889 with the creation of the modern municipalities system. It was raised to town status on January 1, 1921, changing the kanji of its name to the present characters. It was raised to city status on April 1, 1951.
