| Story |
Before the constitutional regime, the city was divided into three distinct independent domains: Owari (Kisogawa River District and Shonaigawa River District), Mikawa (Yahagigawa River District belonging to Nishi-Mikawa) and Ho (Toyokawa District belonging to Higashi-Mikawa). Mikawa), but after the Great Taika Reformation (7th century) they became two domains: Owari and Mikawa, continuing until the Edo era (1603 – 1868).
In 1871, after the abolition of the fief domain system and the establishment of the province system, Owari (excluding Chita-gun) is renamed Nagoya-ken and Mikawa (including Chita-gun that belonged to Owari) is renamed Nukata-ken. In April 1872, Nagoya-ken prefecture receives a new name: Aichi-ken. In the same year, Nukata-ken province is abolished and its administration is transferred to Aichi-ken. After a long history, Owari and Mikawa were unified as Aichi-ken.
| Origin of the name AICHI |
The name AICHI is a word that comes from the word (ayuchigata) which is mentioned by the talented poet named Takechino Kurohito in his poem compiled in Manyoshu. In this poem the poet says: A crane’s cry echoes in the Ayuchigata domain, I wonder if the crane ever caught fish in the tidal marsh. Then moving on to Aichi, also giving rise to the name of the Aichi-gun jurisdiction.
After the abolition of the feudal system, due to the provincial government palace being placed in Nagoya Castle in Aichi-gun, this name was adopted as the name of the province.
