Kitatachibana, Gunma

Kitatachibana, Gunma

Kitatachibana (北橘村; -mura) was a village located in Seta District, Gunma, Japan. On February 20, 2006, it joined the nearby villages of Akagi Village, Ikaho Village, Komochi Village, and Onogami Village in merging with Shibukawa City.

As of 2003, the village had an estimated population of 10,205 and a density of 540.23 persons per km². The total area was 18.89 km².

Although it was officially referred to as "Kitatachibana Village", the local residents commonly used the alternate pronunciation "Hokkitsu". With the 2006 merger, the "Kitatachibana" pronunciation was discarded, and the "Hokkitsu" pronunciation instated as the official one of this district of the new Shibukawa City.
