History

Yoshida-juku was established in 1601, and was a post station since the establishment of the Tōkaidō that same year. It was about 2.6 km wide and served both as Yoshida Castle's castle town [http://japan-city.com/toukai/36/index.html Yoshida-juku to Goyu-shuku] ] . Tōkaidō Hitoritabi. Accessed December 11, 2007.] and as a port town. It was one of the larger post stations on the Tōkaidō and was also known for its "meshimori onna".

As of a census taken in 1802, there were two "honjin", one sub-"honjin" and 65 "hatago" to serve the travelers. The town as a whole consisted of approximately 1,000 buildings and had a population of 5,000 to 7,000 people.

During the Meiji period, Toyohashi Station was built in a nearby village and, as a result, the Yoshida-juku area was able to begin developing as a city.
