History


Nakamura Ward is famous as the birthplace of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

One of the merchant areas is called Funairi-chō, which is close to the Hori Canal. The area was heavily damaged during the bombing of Nagoya in World War II. One of the houses that was saved from there is the Tōmatsu House.

The modern ward was officially established on October 1, 1937; 84 years ago (1937-10-01).[2]
