Ancient times

From the Yayoi periodKofun periodIn the Japanese archipelago of Japan, even after the Yamato administration (Yamato dynasty), which is the central government that governs various powers from Kitakyushu to the Kanto region, was established, the central and northeastern regions of the Tohoku region are outside the territory of the central administration, and ResidentsEzoIt was called by the name of (hairman, Emishi).

However, Mr. Andu TsugaruKamakura PeriodAt the end of the yearTsugaru turbulence) Retreated the power. Also,Northern and Northern DynastiesThe arrival ofNorth morningAlong the side, it began to take power from the current southern part of Iwate prefecture to the inland part of eastern Aomori prefecture.Mr. Nanbu TheSouthern DynastyBecause he was on the other side, he confronted and fought with him. The situation proceeded in favor of Mr. Nanbu, and Mr. Ando was exterminated by Ezo. Nanbu did not put much effort into maritime trade, and the ports that prospered by Ando declined. On the other hand, in the middle of the Muromachi period, mainly in Namioka in the Tsugaru regionMr. Kitahata(Namioka) Boasted a great deal of power.

15st centuryMr. Nanbu who drove Ando in the middle expanded his power greatly,16st centuryIn the middle, it dominated the wide territory of the Tsugaru, Shimokita, and Nukabe districts, and said, "Until the crescent moon is rounded, the southern territory (the crescent moon becomes a full moon while traveling through the southern territory due to its large territory). Was praised. However, in the latter half of the 16th century, Tamanobu Oura of the Nanbu family (Tsugaru Tamanobu) Caused the other castles of Nanbu to fall, destroyed Namioka, and controlled the Tsugaru district, Sotogahama, and part of the Nukabe area.

Our family name isGenjiSo externally, I called myself Southern,Mr. FujiwaraThe saddle was changed to and the family name was changed to Tsugaru. On the other hand, the eastern part became the territory of Nanbu Sannohe.

In the northern part of Mutsu, there was no big change in the control of the Tsugaru territory in the southern part.Morioka Domain8stoneStone (later raised to 20 stones), Tsugaru's western part of the Sea of ​​Japan sideHirosaki Domain4 stones (later raised to 5000 stones) became the territory of both daimyo lords, which was set at Karabazawa on the Tsugaru side and Mamon on the southern side. This corresponds to the current Hirauchi town to Noheji town, but in some areas the boundaries of the domain are not clear,Hiyama uproarHappened. Both the Tsugaru and Nanbu families have a grudge since the Tsugaru peace settlement by Tameshin,Soma Daisaku case,Boshin Warof timeNoheji WarLed to.

In addition, from the southeastern end of the prefecture to the northeastern end of Iwate prefecture, the Nanbu clan, which is the same as the Morioka clan, rules.Hachinohe DomainThere are 2 stones in the central part of the Hirosaki clan.SupporterAsKuroishi Domain1 stones and itsEnclavewas there.

The prefectural area is the residence of the Ainu in Honshu, and the main residence is the Natsudori Peninsula along the Mutsu Bay, which is the territory of Hirosaki, and the Shimokita Peninsula facing the Tsugaru Strait in the territory of Morioka.AinuYou can also see the place name. The lord's place was grasped by the lord's side, and the Ainu visited the Hirosaki and Morioka lords, and said that they had delivered their products. Ainu’s business isUpland fieldIn addition to the fishing and shipping industries, the Ezo area (Hokkaido)Matsumae clanTrade with the territory,hunting,fishingIt is believed that, unlike the Ainu in the Ezo area, whose main business is living in Japan, it was no different from the fishermen in the Kitaoku region. In the latter half of the Edo period, the number of Japanese people entering the Ainu settlement became remarkable,AssimilationHas advanced.

The climate is different between the southern part and Tsugaru, especially in the southern part of the Pacific coast.Cold injury・Bad harvest is likely to occurfamineHowever, there were few starvation people in the Shimokita region.

At the same time, it was also called the Morioka Nitta Domain, and the area was not clear.Shichinohe ClanThe area of ​​1 stones has been confirmed.

Establishment of Aomori Prefecture

Meiji4/7/14(1871/8/29)Abandoned Domain OfdecreeWas issued and the former clan was taken over in the current Aomori prefecture area.Hirosaki Prefecture(Hirosaki clan), Kuroishi prefecture (Kuroishi clan), Dounan prefecture (Dounan clan), Shichinohe prefecture (Seven family clan),Hachinohe Prefecture(Hachinohe clan) was established, but on September 9, the 4 prefectures and the Tate prefecture that was established on the Oshima Peninsula of Hokkaido (Tatehan6) merged to form Hirosaki Prefecture. The prefectural office at this point is located in Hirosaki.

However, on the next day, September 9thNodashi(Noda Hiromichi) was appointed as the first counselor of the prefecture, and the prefectural office was established on September 19, 9 days later.HirosakiからAomoriIt has been decided that the prefecture name will be changed to Aomori prefecture. As a prefectural ordinanceHishidaWas appointed. A prefectural council was held at today's Aomori prefectural government office, and besides this main office, Hirosaki, Fukuyama,Tanabe-Hachinohe-Shichinohe-GonoheA branch office was set up. 5th year of Meiji (1872/), the various parts of the prefecture are divided into wards and sub-wards due to the family register formation.1873/In the 6th year of Meiji (Meiji 10), large wards (ward directors) and small wards (general deputy mayor) were established as administrative units, and administrated administrative work. XNUMX large wards were established in Aomori prefecture, and each large ward hall was established.

Regarding the merger of 6 prefectures, Hirosaki prefecture and Kuroishi prefecture were formerMr. TsugaruArea, and Shichinohe and Hachinohe prefectures are oldMr. NanbuBoth of them started from the independence of Mr. Tsugaru from Mr. Nanbu,The attempted assassination of the Hirosaki lord,Noheji WarAlthough the hostility continued, it was merged the earliest in Japan after the abandonment of prefectures. The person who planned this merger was Hirohiro Ota, who is a major counselor in Hachinohe Prefecture, and small counselor in Donan Prefecture.HirosawaThen, a proposal to merge the five prefectures with the joint name of both persons was proposed to the government on August 5, andToshimichi OkuboAs a result of interviews with senior officials of the Meiji government, the merger order of 9 prefectures including Tate prefecture was reached on September 4. Behind the merger ignoring this grudge, the Dounan clan, unrelated to Tsugaru and the southern enemy (Aizu DomainThe existence of the (transfer destination) has a considerable influence, but both prefectures have few plains that can be used as a granary area in the first place, and cold damage frequently occurs in the mosquito attack area. In the case of Dounan prefecture, the exile clan had just moved to the prefecture and was at a point of poverty, so the reality was that they could not afford to be trapped in their past ties. On the other hand, Hirosaki Prefecture has one prefecture with a financial power of more than 1 times the total stone height of the other 4 prefectures (based on actual height), and it is a large prefecture that is comparable to both Hachinohe and Dounan prefectures. In addition, since the Hirosaki clan was involved in the Meiji government army in the Boshin war, it was highly remembered by the Meiji government due to the merger with Hirosaki prefecture, and it is thought that he thought that it was advantageous for the relief of both prefectures. ing. This merger was in accord with the Meiji government's intention to reduce the total of 3 prefectures and 3 prefectures that were established by the abandoned clan prefecture, so it is considered that it was realized soon.

Also, regarding the relocation of the prefectural office, it was relocated from Hirosaki, which was a city that was outstanding in the prefecture at that time, to Aomori, which was only one port town, but when Noda was appointed as a prefectural counselor,Ministry of FinanceInquiries about 21 items were made, and the opinion about the position of the prefectural office in the first item was adopted as a result. The contents of the merger of the six prefectures are that the current Aomori prefecture area includes part of the Oshima Peninsula of Hokkaido and the Ninohe region of Iwate Prefecture.The geographical position of Hirosaki Prefectural Government is biased, and that of Hirosaki Prefectural Government It is supposed to be trapped in the old times and the future potential of Aomori ports. It is said that Noda had such a view despite his early arrival, as Noda had been staying here for almost half a year during the Boshin War and was well-behaved.

Hirosaki, who is supposed to be a party, has no records that he was particularly aware of the merger of six prefectures and the relocation of prefectural offices, and they are proceeding with ease. However, with regard to the prefectural office, although some petition regarding the relocation of Hirosaki has been made since then, it remains as it is.
