History
Wada Village was created on April 1, 1889 within Asai District, which became part of Awa District from April 1, 1897. Wada became a town on March 13, 1899. On March 31, 1955, Wada absorbed the neighboring village of Kitamihara, and on September 1, 1956 expanded further through annexation of most of the neighboring village of Minamihara.
On March 20, 2006, Wada, along with the towns of Chikura, Maruyama, Shirahama, Tomiura and Tomiyama, and the village of Miyoshi (all from Awa District), was merged to create the city of Minamibōsō.
