History
The area of the modern city of Settsu was within ancient Settsu Province. In 785 AD, Wake no Kiyomaro constructed a canal between the Yodo River and the Kanzaki River in what is now Settsu, and the Heian period Emperor Uda built a village in what is now the Torikai neighborhood of Settsu. During the Sengoku period, the area was part of the holdings of Oda Nagamasu, the younger brother of Oda Nobunaga. During the Edo Period, the area was divided between the direct holdings of the Tokugawa shogunate and the holdings of Takatsuki Domain and Shibamura Domain. Following the Meiji restoration, the village of Mishima was established with the creation of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889. Mishima merged with Torikai and Mibu villages to form the town of Mishima on September 30, 1956. On November 1, 1966 Mishima was raised to city status and changed its name to Settsu.
