Kodaira shi 小平市 Kodaira city
- quote
Kodaira is located in the Musashino Terrace near the geographic center of Tokyo Metropolis.
The area of present-day Kodaira
was part of ancient Musashi Province. In the post-Meiji Restoration catastral reform of July 22, 1878, the area became part of Kita-Tama District in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The village of Kodaira was created on April 1, 1889 with the establishment of municipalities law. Kitatama District was transferred to the administrative control of Tokyo Metropolis on April 1, 1893. The population of the area expanded after the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake with the relocation of universities and housing areas from central Tokyo. Kodaira was elevated to town status in 1944 and to city status on October 1, 1962.

Ogawa cho 小川町 Ogawa district, "small river"
東京都小平市小川町一丁目及び小川町二丁目 Kodaira city, from 1 to 2nd sub-district
This district takes its name from
小川九郎兵衛 Ogawa Kurobei (1622 - 1670), who developed the land in the early Edo period, around 1656, with the permission of the Edo Bakufu government.
Kurobei was from a Samurai family, which was loyal to the Odawara Hojo clan and had to flee when the clan was devastated. They went to Oku-Tama to 岸村 Kishi mura, where Kurobei was born.
He also developed a system of drainage canals to keep the village from flooding (nigemizu no sato 逃げ水の里).
The land was uninhabited and only thieves and robbers lured here, making it unsafe for travelers, who could not find shops or water.
Not many farmers wanted to live in such conditions in the beginning, and Kurobei even used his own money to persuade some to come here.
This sons were the headmen of the village for many generations.
Ogawa was located along the 青梅街道 Ome Kaido Highway. The village of 小川村 Ogawa mura profited from the highway travelers, providing the with fresh horses (馬継場).
The village had ケヤキ並木 zelkova trees for shadow along the road and 防風林 windbreak trees around the farm houses.
