History

During the Edo period, almost all of the area present-day Chōsei District was tenryō under direct control of the central government and administered by various hatamoto, with the exception of Ichinomiya, most of which was under the rule of Ichinomiya Domain, a minor feudal domain of the Tokugawa shogunate ruled by the Kano clan. Chōsei District was created on April 1, 1889 out of the merger of the short-lived early Meiji period districts of Nagara (3 towns, 17 villages) and Kamihabu (1 town, five villages). Shirakata Village was elevated to town status on February 11, 1940. Mobara was elevated to city status on April 1, 1952. Nagara was raised to town status on April 29, 1955, and Honnō Town merged into the city of Mobara on May 1, 1972. Mutsuzawa was raised to town status on April 1, 1983.
