History


Residential street in Sanda, Hyōgo
Residential street in Sanda, Hyōgo

The name "Sanda" has been in use since long ago. Records found within a Buddhist Maitreya statue in the ancient Konshinji Temple read: "These areas are decreed as Matsuyama's land, which includes Onden, Hiden and Keiden, which are three rice fields, and the land is thus renamed Sanda." In Japanese, "san" means three and "ta" (pronounced "da" following "n") means rice field. The earliest document on record which refers to Sanda is from 1477.

The area of modern Sanda was occupied by humans starting from at least 25,000 years ago.

Sanda Castle was erected during the Muromachi period. A castle town was later built during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, and Sanda flourished as a castle town governed by the Kuki clan, producing 36,000 koku (equivalent to 184,000 rice bushels) annually.

After the Meiji period, Sanda expanded as the center of Arima District [ja] thanks to the completion of a railroad system which connected the town and the surrounding areas. In 1956, the towns of Miwa, Hirono, Ono, and Takahira merged into the town of Sanda. Finally, Sanda annexed Aino, itself a merger of towns Ai and Honjō, in 1957. Sanda was upgraded from a town to a city on July 1, 1958.
