History
In 1940, five municipalities were created in the islands, which had been unincorporated before, two on Chichijima, two on Hahajima, and one on Iwojima.[2]
- Ōmura (大村) on Chichijima
- Ōgimura-Fukurosawa (扇村袋沢村) on Chichijima
- Kitamura (北村) on Hahajima
- Okimura (沖村) on Hahajima
- Iōtō (硫黄島村) on Iwojima (Iōtō), which includes all of the Volcano Islands
Both villages of Kita Iwo Jima became part of the newly created Iwojima municipality in 1940:
- Ishinomura (east)
- Nishimura (west)
Following World War II, the islands were administered by the United States. The islands were returned to Japanese control in 1968 and organized as Ogasawara Village.
Airport plan
In August 2020, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government held a council about a potential airport.[3] It would be operational in 10 years at the earliest.[3] The mayor of Ogasawara Village, Kazuo Morishita said ""The airport is the village's long-cherished wish. Governor Koike also said at a regular press conference that day, "(The new model plan) is an effective measure to secure the air routes necessary to protect the lives of the islanders."[3]
Geography
The municipality consists of the following groups and single isolated islands:
- Bonin Islands (小笠原群島, Ogasawara Guntō), 73.00 km2
