District History

On March 1, 2005 the village of Yanagida and the town of Noto from Fugeshi District merged with the town of Uchiura from Suzu District to form the town of Noto.

This merger effectively merged both Susu and Fugeshi districts and put Hosu District in these areas since the borders of two districts has been wiped out. At the same time, the towns of Anamizu and Monzen, both formerly from Fugeshi District, became towns in Hosu District.

The new district takes one kanji from each of its predecessors: the first kanji comes from Fugeshi (鳳至) and the second comes from Suzu (珠洲).

Changes since the creation

*March 1, 2005 - Susu and Fugeshi districts merged to form Hosu District.
*February 1, 2006 - The town of Monzen merged with the city of Wajima to form the city of Wajima.
