History
The area of modern Inage-ku has been inhabited since ancient times. The Shinto shrine in Inagu-ku dates from the 9th century. In 1889, the villages of Tsuga, Kemigawa, Kotegawa and part of the city of Chiba were located on the territory of present Inage-ku. Kemigawa became a city in 1891, and Chiba received city status in 1921. Chiba included the village of Tsuga and the city of Kemigawa in 1937, and Kotegawa in 1954. [1] The Inage area had access to Tokyo Bay , and given its proximity to Tokyo , it was a popular place for swimming and beach vacations. But since 1961, after large-scale reclamation work along the coast of Tokyo Bay in Chiba Prefecture as part of the development of Chiba, he lost access to the sea. The area after the end of World War II was built up with residential quarters in connection with the development of transport networks.
The Inage-ku district was created on April 1, 1992 , when Chiba received the status of a city defined by government decree .
