This was an old district, already shown in the Kanei Kiriezu map 寛永切絵図 around 1630. kure 榑 refers to lumber where the bark of the tree has not yet been removed. The bark could later be used to make roof tiles. In former times this area was full of reeds and no humans lived there. During the construction of Edo castle, this place was used to store the lumber. Later when people came to live here, they used the name Kure. In July of 1868, it became part of 江戸府 Edo, and in September of 1868, part of 東京府 Tokyo. In 1872, there were 150 homes in the area, with about 560 people living there. In November of 1878, it became part of Nihonbashi and in 1928 the name was finally changed to 江戸橋三丁目 Nihonbashi sanchome, third sub-district. Now the road 昭和通り Showadori is flanked by the district on both sides. This avenue was planned after the 関東大震災 Great Tokyo Earthquake in 1923. It was a wide road for easy traffic, finished in 1928.
