History
The area of Yukuhashi was part of ancient Buzen Province. During the Asuka Period, ancient mountain castles known as kōgoishi were constructed in several areas as protection against possible invasion by Silla or Tang China. During the Edo Period the area was partly under the control of Kokura Domain, with smaller areas as tenryō territory under direct control of the Tokugawa Shogunate. After the Meiji restoration, the village of Yukuhashi was established on May 1, 1889 with the creation of the modern municipalities system. On October 10, 1954 Yukuhashi merged with the eight surrounding villages of Minoshima, Imamoto, Nakatsu, Izumi, Tsubakishi, Imagawa, Hieda, and Enei to form the city of Yukuhashi.
